I think what I love most about this currently inked is that you broke out of your usual rules and layout and just went with what felt right! That's a huge win in my books. All those combinations look like so much fun and I can't wait to hear your final thoughts.

Good afternoon Karyna!! Another great video. One of the stand out combinations is the Laban and Dracula. It just works with the look of the pen and the name of the ink. I’m not a fan of pink inks but the van diemans August is not too bad at all. The aquapetra and Diamine Rainbow is another excellent combination. I really like the lights of Niagara ink. It was a good choice for the pastel colors of the pen. I’m happy to hear you are enjoying the Model 31. I have really been enjoying that pen as well. I like your pen and ink combination there as well. The neutron star is one heck of an ink. I’m curious to how reading pages written with that ink will do since it’s a high sheen ink which as you know I have to try and avoid usually. But a sample might be worth a try. Have an amazing day!!

OMG I love this palette! I lover shimmer inks but have had various degree of success despite the fact I usually use M, B & Stub nibs. To see your XF and F display them in such a way I have to wonder. Have all of these been tweaked by a nibmeister? I have a Nahvalur Nautilus in B and it is quite dry compared to your Nahvalur Voyage in F!

When I’ve used shimmer, typically only in a Benu M nib. Therefore I’ve also quarantined the converter. I feel intimidated to use shimmer in my other pens but great to see your success. I don’t even like to clean shimmer pens alongside others. I would need a whole system to keep things separated. Not sure where this fear is coming from. 😂

I really like this format and really loving those speedball nibs! Then again, all your formats are so well thought out. I'm definitely taking notes! 😄 These pairings are all pretty spectacular but my favorites are definitely Dracula (which I have a bottle of), Bah Humbug & Persephone which I want to get bottles of! 😍 I'm always amazed at how beautiful your writing looks within that small grid! I take up 2-3 spaces for your one so mine would just look like a blob 😂 which is probably why I'm a or girl.😏 Oooh also love the way the SIS #273 looks and what a great match to that gorgeous Silverburl Strata Quartz. Such a lovely pen as are your swatches as usual. Cheers! 😊
