Fountain Pen Inks That NEED To Be In Rotation ✒️ Shimmer, Shading, Sheen, and Standards

[@julia-here]

Not me talking about recency bias and including so many Christmas gift inks! LOL 😆 - either way, thanks for watching; hope you enjoyed and would loveee to know what inks you're wanting to get into your rotation this year.

I'm just getting into inks and fountain pens and inks. These inks are gorgeous! I have a small bottle of Diamine Writer's Blood that I use a lot in my dip pens and can't wait to play with in my fountain pen. Also from Diamine, Jet Black and Sherwood Green. Stroke of Midnight from Ferris Wheel is a shimmery dark blue I've been using most of January. And Private Reserve black cherry... only because Atlas Stationers was out of Writers Blood when I took a trip to Chicago and it happened to be their big sidewalk sale.

Oh these are a great list of inks all together! Love Writer’s Blood, Stroke of Midnight, anddd Sherwood Green- nice picks! And welcome to the community! 🙏🏽💕

[@mixeddrinks8100]

have you tried FWP king midas age of aurum? quite similar to a few of those you had there

[@julia-here]

Oh what a good one! I had this inked up for November and December; absolutely a favorite. 😍

[@fountainpeninsanity3344]

Beautiful inks! My favorite was Tiger’s Eye.

[@julia-here]

I can’t wait to get that into something- it’s so neat looking!

[@rv6847]

Beautiful inks! I can see Bookkeepers Brass in a TWSBI Eco Caffe

[@julia-here]

Oh man! That would probably be a stellar match 😍

[@christinemcgregor9970]

Wow! these inks are so beautiful and I don't think I've seen mention of them before. I think I liked wishing tree, nocturnal lavender and call of the cthuluhu

[@julia-here]

Thanks! Glad to put some new ones on your radar! 🫶🏽

[@markyourpages]

I’m so here for this!!! I have that recently bias too.

[@julia-here]

It’s the worsssttt! I’m the same way with the pens as well. 🤭

[@markyourpages]

@ oh let’s not talk about that 😂

[@julia-here]

@markyourpages oh you already told on yourself in your latest video sir lol

[@markyourpages]

@ bahahahah I have a lot of pen usage to do.

[@iheartbooks239]

This is a great idea! I have an embarrassing amount of fp ink and as you mentioned, many get put on a back burner. Especially as new inks come in. It’s a vicious cycle 😩. Soon it will be ‘pens to use this year’ 🤣. Thanks for sharing!

[@julia-here]

Indeed! It’s the same way with pens for me too 🫣😝😬

[@pilesofthings]

I need to try some of the inkvent inks, I only breifly had themninked up in Dec. Wishing tree is on my list too lol. I also really want to try WEARINGEUL captain hook and kutetake ubecha, I bought them but have not written with them yet

[@julia-here]

Captain Hook looks so cool! And yeah, I’m with you on Inkvent; other than the initial swatching on the day, I haven’t inked anyyything up. So many inks, so little time 🤭

[@rebellee66]

Beautiful! Which one of the Sailor nibs did you use for these writing samples? They have several options to choose from.

[@julia-here]

Thanks! It’s the stub one ☺️

[@animula6908]

If only inks would do in writing what they do in swatching.

[@julia-here]

With a big enough nib anything is possible 😭 (no, that’s fair)

[@christyncreates]

Umm...yeah - I think you missed my memo -you were supposed to have similar use in 25 inks to my list...not a list of new inks to buy😂 The Call of Chithulu has been calling my name, that Goldspot has the pen on sale is not helping my no-buy January. 4 more days...

[@julia-here]

🤣🤣 whooooops! You got this - 4 more days is nothing! 🫶🏽
