What a treat to watch you swatch and hear you describe these inks. I love the way you describe the colours and I think I fell in love with these all over again! 🥹 I love Sesame Oil and agree it feels similar to Oyster Hour! To me, it looks slightly brighter and is a more pleasant experience to write with - especially in my EF nib! As for Extradimensional Umber - I'm obsessedddddddd. I'm so happy you love it, too. It reminds me a lot of FWP's Writing Desk, but slightly warmer (which I prefer). If I didn't already own Writing Desk, I'd be tempted to pick Extradimensional Umber up. Also, I apparently live in Autumn all year round with my pens, as I keep re-inking one of my pens with Toffee and am struggling to break away from that combo. 🍂 Thank you for swapping inks with me - I'm grateful for our pen-friendship! 💞

I can totally see how the writing would be smoother with the Sesame Oil, it is much wetter than the FWP. Autumn writing year round sounds good to me!! These colors always appeal to me 🥰 I'm grateful for our pen-friendship too 💝

I love/have the Lamy ink in cartridges myself and love it! And that extra dimensional umber is now on my list. And possibly even the khaki!

Wonderful! So many great choices!

I loveeee the videos where you don't use the inks before because your reactions figuring out what's going on is so cute!! And not to sound super dramatic, but there is NOTHING that compares to machine #9 TRP and it's so maddening. I can't believe as many competitors as there are, no one can replicate that paper. There's no comparison I've found.

@mydandeliondiaries 7 күн бұрын

Thanks so much 😊 So far I don't hate the paper but it is different. For writing I think it does well, if anything, it dries a bit faster for me. But in swatching/painting, I feel like it absorbs into the paper much faster which takes away from some of the ink qualities. It is a shame that the original TRP will be gone 😞

@AlongfortheThrill 7 күн бұрын

@mydandeliondiaries exactly!!! Like I don't see a major difference in writing samples for some inks (some inks I do, Manyo Haha looses it's chromoshading and many more) but the swatches make the same ink look completely different.

Thank you for the video. Every time I see Opera Rose I want it more!!!! The clear winner for me ❤

Such very beautiful colors! I own a bottle of the Opera Rose and I do really enjoy that ink. It does well in any pen I have put it in. The ink from Birmingham Pen Company was really gorgeous!! That one was my favorite!!! Thank you for sharing all of these inks with us!!❤❤❤

The Birmingham brown reminds me of the Lamy Topaz ink. I swatched it the other day and had forgotten how beautiful the sheen and green colouring is ❤

I bought Opera Rose at the beginning of spring and have had it inked up in my Lamy Cosmic since. I love it! It’s definitely not a typical pink, leaning more towards orange/red. Thanks so much for your wonderful ink swatch, videos!!

Thanks for sharing!! That Lamy sounds like a great match!

you know I love your ink vids! I like all of these but my favourites are Khaki & Opera Rose, both near the top of my - endless - wish list. x

Oh so fun to see this! I didn’t choose the Khaki when I placed my order for ink samples, but now I want to try it 😅 I got my package delivered yesterday & will try them out in a little bit. It’ll be fun to see how they perform on paper & if I like the same ones the most when i’ve swatched them vs how i thought / felt before swatching.

Hope you enjoy it! It's always a surprise when trying out new colors for the first time 💝

I can relate to that “BPC inks have taken over my life” statement! I’ve already collected 5 bottles in less that 2 months 😩 send help I have a problem

I have the same problem haha, but is it really a problem? 😅

@Adventuresover40 8 күн бұрын

Great colors. I do love and own a bottle of Opera Rose. The Sailor 573 is really pretty. Sesame Oil is sitting in my cart and has been for a while now lol. What a great BPC color.. they are all great hehe. Thanks for sharing. Is it sad that I am super excited about picking fall ink colors already. Like, fall get here, please!!

@mydandeliondiaries 7 күн бұрын

I'm so ready for fall too. I feel like I melt into a puddle every time I step outside haha. Not to mention, I am over the bugs, I want cooler weather to wipe them out!

Khaki has been on my radar for a while now. I have Opera Rose and Sesame Oil as samples and would love to put them in a pen. I would love to see a review of the Sanzen paper. I have the Hobonichi version. My Iroshizuku inks feather in the Sanzen paper, particularly Ina-Ho.

@mydandeliondiaries 7 күн бұрын

Really?? I haven't had any feathering with the Iroshizuku inks. I'm using Tsutsuji this month and it's doing wonderfully. So far the Sanzen paper seems to absorb the ink faster so the dry time is shorter, but I find that it makes some of the shading less prominent in inks.

@TriskelionHallow 8 күн бұрын

Extradimensional Umber isn't a creamy coffee, it's a dark roast coffee with how punchy it is. I'm not a fan of the sheen but the base color is pretty nice. The Robert Oster one also reminds me of coffee, but more of a medium roast, it's very pretty I want it now

@mydandeliondiaries 7 күн бұрын

They are close in base color but the Toffee is darker. Since you're not a fan of the sheen, the Toffee would be the one to go with!

@pocketwish 8 күн бұрын

i HAVE to get my hands on some sesame oil! i absolutely adore that color! also, what are your impressions of the new tomoe river sanzen paper? :o i've noticed some change every other spread in how thick/wet of a line my fountain pen writes? one spread thin, one spread thick, rinse and repeat. it's pretty consistent regardless of pen/ink and i was wondering if you also had that issue

@mydandeliondiaries 7 күн бұрын

The new sanzen paper is okay, I don't notice much difference in terms of paper "feel" but I find that when writing, the ink dries much faster, and in painting its a bit more challenging to blend on. I haven't had the varying line width that you mentioned. But, I have been trying to make sure my hands are really dry/not lotioned before writing since I feel the paper absorbs a lot off of my hands.
