✨ 🕰️ 📔 A Trip Down Memory Lane | Completed Journal Flipthrough | Fountain Pen Ink Swatches

[@ramonafirehorse]

Loved this flip through so much. I got to see some of the inks I liked a lot. What a wonderful record to have.

[@lianelikes]

Glad you enjoyed it, Ramona!

[@inkinc]

Love your diverse ink swatches! They are fabulous 🍍

[@lianelikes]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@tinacampbell2610]

I’d love a no talking video or any ink swatching video from you. I look forward to seeing all your videos and loved that because of you and Seemownay’s videos I can watch more ink swatching videos on YT...

[@YachtsLiving]

One of the best videos that I’ve seen for a long time!!!! 😍

[@kan-zee]

Beautifully organized..LOVE IT , ALL !! 😍🤩

[@lianelikes]

Thank you! 🤗

[@EvanLuke3]

I love your ink exploration videos. You like such a wide variety of inks and consequently I get to know so many new inks!! Your ink journal is just beautiful!!! I just loved watching every page. So many amazing inks!!! Thank you for taking the time to share your ink journal with us. It really was gorgeous!❤❤❤

[@lianelikes]

Thanks so much!

[@oldladywithacamera]

Your layouts and color combinations are always so lovely. A friend of mine passed on to me two vintage Sheaffers (1930s and 40s). Read that ph neutral inks are good for these, so I use J. Herbin Bleu Pervenche. Thanks, Liane. It's actually amazing how consistent you've been over the years. My hournals are all over the place.

[@lianelikes]

Thank you, what a gift to receive two vintage Sheaffers!

[@snarkywordsworth]

This was such a fun video to watch! I loved getting to see your ink journal journey and how some things subtly shifted over time. I'll definitely be picking up a bottle of Diamine Green Uber after seeing your swatch - so beautiful. 😍😍😍 I personally love and prefer narrated videos, but I know there's a huge faction of people who also like to just have ASMR and no talking experiences, too, so I don't think a non-speaking take would be a bad thing.

[@lianelikes]

Thanks, Christy!

[@peachyplanner4834]

I love this kind of journal. Beautiful and very creative. Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@craft-o-matic399]

I'm a fan of narration. So I always prefer to have talking in the videos I watch. Thank you Liane! I have loved this series of swatching videos, and I can't wait for the next swatching season videos! I hope you will do some dupe discovery for those very hard to find or, impossible to find inks! Lisa

[@lianelikes]

Thanks!

[@tattooedcat]

What a fantastic flip-through! I think I’ll be revisiting this again in the future. So many wonderful inks! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

[@lianelikes]

Thank you!

[@mysimpleintentionallife9899]

This was awesome‼️‼️I have a running list going for inks I want now. Love it ❤

[@moeharri]

I took a look at your Lavender Gray video, and the inks at 12:43 in this video seem to be (from the top left, clockwise): 123, 252, Thunderstorm, and 224.

[@lianelikes]

I think you're right!!!

[@timewithtata8004]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video Liane!! It was so nice to hear your reflections on your ink journey. I may have added a few of these inks to cart!!

[@ziawoolzstudiobuzz313]

Hi Liane, I enjoyed this so much and I do love what you have to say about all the inks! I may change my currently inked in the future (next notebook) too, I loved the larger ink blob pages and then also separate pages where you just line up writing samples. I think I’ve already watched this three times! Thank you! ☺️ 🖋💗🙌🏻

[@lianelikes]

I'm so glad, thanks for watching!

[@LisaRaven1682]

I found using baseball card protectors and a binder method works great for me. It appeals to my sorting and organizing while getting to see what inks I have in the bottle and samples. I will have a wishlist and done sections for my samples and move the cards when I buy more. 😳 I still have the inked for the month in my journal. I have them numbered and use a random number generator on my phone.

[@lianelikes]

That's a great idea, thanks for sharing!

[@vdebroeck]

Thank you for reminding me of my forgotten pens and reigniting my love and use of them.

[@PlanYourOneLife]

I thoroughly enjoyed your flip through. ❤

[@lianelikes]

I'm so glad!

[@FranM6179]

This was a beautiful flip through. It’s funny because I LOVE the Kakimori pen nib. It is my favorite nib for writing when I want to test an ink. It doesn’t hold as much ink as the brass or stainless, I agree, but I do enjoy it as a test nib. Thanks for sharing your ink book.

[@lianelikes]

Yes, for ink tests, the pen nib would probably do the trick! I'll have to re-visit using the pen nib just for testing purposes and see!

[@FountainPenNews]

This is so fun! I am just setting up a new ink journal so this was very timely to see how you have done it. Thank you for sharing!!

[@lianelikes]

You are so welcome!

[@ThePathOfAshes]

It's wild to see I recognize several of the early pages from your videos having binged a lot of them whenever I was looking for particular colours hahaha! Love the flip through

[@FrenchyInFocus]

What a treat!! This was so fun to watch, especially as a long time subbie! I love how you have this sort of memory keeper of your ink journey, I'm so happy you shared this with us! I remember so many videos that feature this very notebook ❤Your favorites are being exposed too, lol, I should've tracked all the times I saw Ancient Copper, Tang Mi Se Blue, Opera Rose and Ina Ho 🤭All of them are my absolute fav inks! I recently feel in love with Kyujang-gak, so far it's been re-inked every month since I purchased the bottle😍 Thank you so much for sharing your journey

[@lianelikes]

We have very similar ink tastes!!! I've yet to ink up Kyujang-gak so it's great to hear that you love it so much, what pen have you inked it up with?

[@FrenchyInFocus]

I have it inked up in my shape of the heart ❤I feel like the rose gold went with it and added some extra romantic vibes to the pen😍 @@lianelikes 🤭

[@Papertalesp]

Wow! I love the dupes spreads. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@ChantelleArts]

What a gorgeous journal ☺☺

[@jppenandink]

Teranishi Opera Rose is one of my all time favourites too! Happy to send you some Australian exclusive ink samples if you like. Love your ink swatch book, thank you for sharing Liane and have a wonderful weekend 😊

[@lianelikes]

Hi Jayne, that would be lovely, thank you!

[@cathycarr3625]

Very nice. Nice to see the journey.

[@tinacampbell2610]

I think my Opera Rose and Brunch Date inks lean more orangey than pink for me in my bottles. I love them anyway and want to try Rusty Anchor to see if it’s the color I’m looking for. I love your ink journal and can’t wait to see the new ink journal that you create. You have helped me open my ink explorations to more inks because I was a permanent ink only person. I love to see all the inks that I can explore and see the beautiful colors on my journal pages. I was always afraid of losing my words in the ink colors because of them not being waterproof... I love all your videos and thank you so much for making them; I can’t wait to see what you explore next...

[@lianelikes]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@joistevens4454]

I love it! I wrote down a bunch of inks I want!

[@lalunebunny]

Ahhhh! so inspiring

[@skydyedink]

You finished it! So fun! ❤

[@lianelikes]

Thanks for watching!

[@AmberUnfinished]

I’m only 9:49 into this video and I’m laughing because every time you turn the page I’m like oooooo I love that one! And then you point to my favorite one and say this is my favorite. 😂😂. Starting an ink journal this weekend bcs my first order of inks are coming in and making a list of “wanted inks”. Adding several from your journey. Thanks for sharing!

[@lianelikes]

We have very similar ink tastes!!!

[@echimide1991]

i want to try all those beautiful inks!

[@MissMarilynDarling]

What a beautiful bunch of inks :)

[@yureliplans]

Great flip thru. Did you like using the hibonichi notebook for this? I was thinking of getting a HOBONOCHI notebook with the flower drawings for this purpose. 🤩

[@lianelikes]

Yes, I did use the Hobonichi! A5 Plain notebook.

[@christaalbrecht67]

Wonderful video! I just got a new fountain pen and was curious about new ink colors I might want to try. Quick question: which venue would you recommend for selling fountain pens? I want to sell my Lamy Studio and Pilot Vanishing Point. Any advice for someone who has never sold pens before? Many thanks in advance. ❤

[@breadyegg]

Sad. Looked for R&K "Deep Pine". It was a llimited edition in 2021/22 😢

[@lianelikes]

So sad, I didn't realize!

[@MamaTomasu]

so satisfying, thank you for sharing. i love this narrated version

[@lianelikes]

Thanks! Yes I did, with a glue stick. It did the job but I'm planning on inking up only one side of the page so I don't have to glue pages together.

[@andreacull8239]

To do swatches on Tomoe, do you glue pages together when you want to use the "backside"?

[@lianelikes]

Yes, I do! I use a glue stick.

[@disisd]

Enjoyed this so much. Loved seeing all the swatches in one video. If you’re still looking for ink swap friends, I have some to share. Although I see lots of similar inks that I’ve already purchased.. will email you my ink swatch pages. ❤

[@lianelikes]

Lovely, sounds great!
