Great pen and ink combos. Thanks for sharing. Glad to see you are not hung up on matching ink colours to the pen colour. Allows for so much more flexibility in my opinion.

Thank you! 🥰 I have too many ink colors to match pens haha, I would go broke buying pens if I tried that! Plus I prefer the look of the more earthy toned pens 🥰

Have you tried white rabbit by Wearingeul? A bit lighter but very similar to rusty anchor, and definitely not as dry.

I LOVE your currently inked lineup for Feb! I’ve been so intrigued by J Herbin’s Rouille D’Ancre, but I’m a bit hesitant bc of the dryness factor. I struggled with my two other Herbin inks and don’t use them they often for that reason even though I love the colours. It’s also crazy to compare the Scrikss “medium” against the Lamy broad!
@mydandeliondiaries
7 ай бұрын
Yes! I find that the herbin inks work best in my larger Nib sizes. If the Nib is too fine it struggles to write. And I agree, the Scrikss pen has been so fun and crazy at how flowing it is with the DI ink. 🥰

Very nice video, I love your colour choices! You were wondering about Robert Oster inks general behaviour. So far I tried 5: 3 regulars and 2 shimmers ones. The regular ones all behave extremely well but both shimmers ink (Rose Gold Antiqua & Heart of Gold) unfortunately write dry and clogged all the pens I tried them in. Note that this was using medium nib or larger. So far none of the Wearingeul shimmer inks I tried, nor FWP ink clogged any of my pen. P.S. After seing Rouille d'Ancre many times this video had me add it to my MUST BUY list :D

Tuna and olives is just stunning! I bought a bottle as soon as it was on the wonderpens site 😅 that pilot VP is so pretty! I have a love/hate relationship with the 2 I own. They either flow beautifully or have very hard starts. I've been wanting to try the medium nib but am hesitant to spend that much money one a nib unit because of the bad experiences I've had with the EF and fine ones I already own 😮

I've found that my VP has a certain angle I have to hold it at to get it to write well. I haven't tried an EF but I love my F and M. The medium is definitely juicy and bouncy!!

Great video, very enjoyable like all of your ink tests. But also I think that the video is in general too dark. Increasing the brightness would help a lot in seeing the details of shading and sheening in the inks that you test.

Danielle, I found this video within your channel, under 'Currently Inked 2024'; I fully intend to watch the entire series, to date for this year. What an eclectic & beautiful selection of writing instruments & inks ! (the only exception being the Benu - for whatever reason, I've never taken to their design aesthetic - but that (naturally) is a personal choice - & certainly no reflection upon yours. You have a delightful cursive handwritten style - clearly, you were raised in a State where cursive still predominates - I never did understand why certain regions of the US defaulted toward block capitals, because in most instances it looks unnatractive, & scripted arts should remain refined; I digress. In regard to any brand of shimmer/sheen/ glittered inks: When charging your pen(s) with same, if you wish the 'sparkle' to remain consistent, up-end the barrel frequently to agitate the denser particulates, so that they do not agglutinate at the distal end of the feed; it is (also) preferable to use broader nibs with these ink type - an EF is going to struggle. Fabulous stuff !! 😙 P.S. The round glass diffuser you employ - Where did you purchase that, please ?

Hi Andrew! Thank you for watching :) I appreciate all the tips! As for the round block I used, it is an acrylic stamp block from Jet Pens, www.jetpens.com/MU-Clear-Stamp-Acrylic-Block-Round-Pack-of-2/pd/33583 I use the larger block but there is a smaller one as well!

Not at all, Danielle. Ah, so the block is acylic ? Thank you for the link to same - it's an excellent way to swatch without using more than a drop of ink, & for under $5.00 (US) it's a bargain, tho' I suspect shipping to the UK will take a little longer; no doubt, worth the wait 😀

Herbin is definitely a dry ink, but that can work out in your favor if you have an overly wet pen. I use it in my Lamy 2k with a medium nib because with other, wetter inks like Pilot Iro or Noodlers, it turns into a double broad. Crazy thick and almost rounded lines. But Herbin Le de The takes it down to a regular medium.
