Hi there 👋, Great video as usual. Love the artwork. Looks like "Portuguese Man Of War". A dangerous jellyfish. And the blue ocean 🌊, it just works. Congratulations on your New Pen Day. It's mine too today 10th July. I bought an Esterbrook Raven with a button piston filler. Great pen, a joy to write. Can't stop writing. I wish I can use the pen writing this comment!!😂 The only Estie Raven in the country!! For now. The ink i used Diamine's music set.. Wagner. Kinda like olive green and yellow similar to Iroshizuku Ina-Ho. No sheen but great shading which i like. The Raven was able to display the shades eventhough it is a F nib. Pretty amazing. Great pen. Every pen collector should pick one up. The color blue is amazing but not available here. So my choice is J Herbin Eclat de Saphir. If you got the chance kindly review Penlux from Taiwan comparable in price with Opus 88 Koloro Demo.Their resin is like the Italians. They even made a special limited edition of 10 using Omas celluloid!! Their standard model Delgado Masterpiece. I love your pen review coz there's a lot of writing sample compared to others - 20 minutes video with couple of lines of writing for 2 minutes top. But it's 20 minutes video!! Anyway great video as always. Take care. (I got a Monteverde Canyon Rust reserve for fall writing season. For Halloween will be all black for the Raven!)

My Pineider Avatar is one pen that remains in my regular rotation and is a really good writer. Great pen and ink combination!

I am such a pen and ink matchy-matchy person. I don’t own a Pineider, avoiding a new filler system. I adore your in-depth ink reviews. 💙

That's a really pretty ink. BTW, I bought a Pineider Avatar UR Matte Black Cherry after our last meet up and I LOVE it! Thanks, penabler! ;) And yes, I usually try to match my pen and ink colors.

Not a fan of Pineider pens, for a number of different reasons. So, I never bought one. Blue inks may be commonplace and numerous, and hence hard to always stand out as especially lovely and desirable. But I have a few special favorite blues. Your Leonardo blue is very pretty, no kidding. Certainly more aqua-turquoise than a true blue. I never bought ink samples. But this one is well worth trying before buying a bottle. Visconti Blue is one of my own enduring favorites. Readily recommended! Good to hear you again, Mona. Happy to drop by and comment, as always.

I thought Serenity Blue was darker? Love the colour combo, lovely Leonardo ink and that pen looks very interesting. 😇🩷🙏🙌

Edit, Edit!!!! CUT, Cut!!! LOL! Geez.... that is what my FPR pen does, which has a flex nib on it that is great to write with just not with the pen housing.
