I tried that ink on 52gsm Tomoe River and it took ages to dry! I love the colour.

Nice blue/black.

Hehee nice seeing your face 😊❤

It's good to see your face again! And because you mentioned 'PET' in the title, I thought you were excited about getting a pet, like a cat or dog. I didn't know it was a kind of tape 😅

Thanks for the vid Rosemarie. I'd love to see a midyear review and how you use the Plotter. 💜

So good to see you are making your own stickers on Canva! It saves me so much money doing it that way and I can tailor the images to my life.

great pen, ink, paper combo

I also love my frosted coconut sport! I haven't used it in a while.

I also have a Kaweco Sport (Frosted Lime), and what I love about it is the sound it makes when you cap/uncap and post/unpost it 😂

Woohoo! Love that you’re using my PIPs acronym 🥰 I’m a person who likes to shorten all manner of words and find it especially useful when taking notes. And that blue is so gorgeous! Also, thank you for your kind words. I love doing this so much! Btw, I agree with you on doing KZfaq, everyone’s perspective is so diff it makes each one unique and a pleasure to watch. Love being part of this pen hobby, especially here on the Tube.

I caught the fountain pen bug and now have four. I have yet to ink three pens because I don’t know how long I can leave ink in the pen without using it?

Wow that Pelikan m805 is beautiful 💙

I very much vibe with the thought of having the same color ink in my planners and journals, even if I‘m using more than one at a time, which I always do. So a few years ago I started choosing one color per week and setting up my books in that respective colorway. I have to add that most of my pens are inked all the time, so I actually have an abundance of combinations to choose from… that‘s why I change weekly, not monthly. And this way I also make sure that all of my pens get used throughout the year. I love flipping back through my daily planner (currently an A5 Hobonichi notebook - 2 pages per day) and seeing the different setups of the weeks, it just brings me so much joy. 😊 Thank you for sharing, your Pelikans are gorgeous ! ❤

I think the theme might be blue?

I find it so interesting that everyone has their own method to inked pens. Mine is currently to ink pens for a season. So however many pens for 3 months and at the half way point if I feel a combination isn't my favorite I swap them for a different ink and maybe a different pen.

I, too, exist in my happiest place when surrounded by pens full of blue ink. 😂💙🩵🥰

I have that same finger bump/callus. If I use a pen like that I use a silicone finger cot.

I'd love to see your entire fountain pen collection at some point 👀

Lovely pen and review. I think Tsukikusa means Moon Grass in Japanese. If os that’s such a beautiful name for a beautiful pen.

Great video discussing your everyday use of your Lamy 2000. Pilot does make a matte black Vanishing Point, so that may be something you would enjoy. Just to let you know, I own multiple Pilots (Custom Heritage models, Prera, Elite 95S, Capless Steel nib), they do not play well with European inks that have average to slightly drier flow (Pelikan, Waterman, Lamy, etc), so if you get them, you may find them less tolerant of different ink viscosities than your Lamy 2000. If you own a big variety of inks with various viscosities, then a fine or extra fine nib Lamy 2000 is a better choice than a Pilot. I own mostly Japanese inks, which are much more lubricated, so Pilots, Sailors, and a fine nib Lamy Safari comprise my fleet of pens.

Love that Platinum!

I used to have that ink in my Prefounte with a preppy blue feed and homeground stub; but changed to 1864 b/b (bit of a Diamine fanboy) then they cost cut us to this bog paper... may as well use Parker Blk. smh🙄

hello! what is the name of the pen that you use in swatching?

It's crazy how much the paper can change the way the ink looks

Has anyone at your work recognized your Lamy 2000? Even though it's understated, it's a very distinct design. And with Lamy being a German brand of course, it wouldn't suprise me if someone recognized it.

I Really enjoy your PIP Review videos and I Have started to copy your method of doing these. Keep them coming Rosemarie. Thanks from England.

The silver trim is rhodium plated finish, more resistant to than golden plating. Nice pen! BTW, the click sound of this resin is to me the best of this pen!

I also love that blue!

Lovely ink colour! Kinda looked like cranberry on my phone. Yay for stickers!

I stumbled on your videos after watching your Dutch Pen haul and I just have to say I love how chill your videos/you are 😁

That pen is gorgeous! I love it ❤

Curious how a Platinum F nib would look like!

Love the color, it keeps you guessing!

I saw a post on Instagram that said "Tsuki Kusa" means "Asiatic dayflower."

Childish pleasures are so important! Sometimes I get myself a little lego set and always it's so much fun to build them and put them on my bookshelf 😊

Id been wondering what those tiny stickers from sailor were for! 😂

I'm always saying that my city is desperate for a great stationery/pen store. But I'm actually lucky we don't have one because my impulse control can't handle having a store at my fingertips! Fun haul , thanks for sharing!

Could you please send me the Stationary Station link for this pen? I would like to purchase it as well 😉

😅 I also do weird stuff when ink sampling. I have towels that I made from terry cloth insisted of kitchen towels it absorbs a bit more ( in my mind) also ihave 2 glasses with water and one is for the initial clean and the other is to not risk any ink contamination. I've been wanting to try Montblanc toffee brown!! It's so gorgeous.

My impression is that the Japanese pen users equate quality with lightness. So Japanese pen makers make light usually non-metallic pens. I like how the 3776 pens writes and enjoy using it.😊

Montblanc Toffee Brown 😍

Great collection for June! I have a few „everyday“ or always inked, too. How on earth are your nibs from Sailor PG in MF and Leonardo M so similar? My MF writes like a EF-F and the Leonardo like a M-B 😄 (I don’t complain- I like both a loooot)

Great video! I normally have 3 pens inked up and always rotate them. Takes me about 2 months to go through one of them, except my TWSBI 580 if fully inked. The reservoir is huge.
