In this video, I show you inside my ink journal and talk about how my fountain pens and inks are working out so far this month!
At the end of the video I also talk about: cat spat, book I just finished reading on caregiving, nib swaps and my recent ink sample reorganization and choice not to keep up with ink sample vials on each bottled ink.
Book Mentioned:
Who Cares ~ The Hidden Crisis of Caregiving, and how we solve it by Emily Kenway
(As I talked about the book I realize it was a first impression kind of raw ramble ... it's an important book - just a very emotional read for anyone who has already been thru difficult life changing caregiving situation(s) ... I think people who have not been thru it really need to read it to become aware of the impacts and importance of finding solutions for sure! Just beware it definitely has some definite triggers for grief and loss.)
Here is a list of pens and inks talked about:
1. TWSBI Go B Sapphire with Colorverse 2024 Blue Dragon Standard
2. TWSBI Go B Smoke with Platinum Sugar Plum (sample gifted by a pen friend K.S.)
3. TWSBI Go B Clear with Diamine Oxblood
4. TWSBI Diamind 580 Iris B with Pilot Ama-Iro
5. Benu Talisman Mandrake B with Sailor Manyo Akebi
6. TWSBI Eco Rose Gold and white M nib (replaced the Opus 88 Halo Purple B which was giving me odd issues) with Robert Oster Sydney Lavender (ink sample was gifted by pen friend K.S.)
7. Kaweco Sport Mellow Blue B with Colorverse 2024 Blue Dragon Silver Glistening (pen was gifted by pen friend BBR and ink sample from anonymous pen friend)
8. Jinhao X750 Silver with B Goulet nib which replaced the 0.8 Nemosine nib which was a tad dry with this ink... with Aurora Purple
9. Jinhao 82 Black B Goulet nib with Robert Oster Tea Time (sample from pen friend CK and CS)
Thank you so much for watching. Things calmed down for awhile and I've enjoyed more pen desk time recently. Now, there is a lot more paperwork and an interview in early May with the state for Mom's medical coverage so I hope I've learned enough to get thru that process AGAIN without too much disruption. I just can't believe it's going to be May ... I feel almost like I lost 3 or 4 months.
