Thank you for that. A lot of emotions around milestone birthdays...and deep reflection in mid-life. But I'm thankful for the blessing of aging as opposed to the alternative!

Pinterest - or if you Google zentangle patterns, you'll get a lot of ideas. I teach zentangle in my art classes so I have a lot of stored ideas and handouts for patterns. Sometimes I just start making lines and see where it goes.🙂

I know, 46 is ridiculous. We probably have a bit over 100 bottles of ink. Between my husband and I, we use a lot! Yes that is a stamp. It's from everydayexplorers.co They have some super cute stamps!

Ha! Thanks for the info - that makes more sense. I thought it was just a random baby face. As far as dip pens go - do you ever use a kakimori nib? I've got the brass and steel and I'm really trying to get the hang of them! I've got a Sailor and a Pilot too and they seem to be a little easier to manage.

@@lidl.doodle You're welcome for the bit of info on the Pilot Kakuno. In regards to the Kakimori Dip pens I've heard about them but, I haven't used the Kakimori Dip pens yet. I'm debating whether to get one or not. Perhaps their Sakura Wood nib holder with Metal Brass nib. It's my understanding that you can do different variation line widths with those pens. I also thinking about glass dip pens as well. currently have the Teranishi Guitar Glass Pen in my shopping cart.

I think there is a purple glow in the dark too! Which ink do you have in your green one?

@@lidl.doodle hahaha... I love glow in the dark and fountain pens so much I bought the purple one for my daughter !! I just have a Diamine Ink...Delamere Green. I haven't gotten into fancy ones yet. But I do love the Diamine Electric Pink!!!!

OMG I just saw this! Lol!

Love you🥰

Have you seen the Dracula ink in the literature line? Ooohhhhh it's super pretty!

@@lidl.doodle yep!! That is one of the ones I am specifically looking at!! Swoon!!

Aren't those Rickshaws amazing?! Love their products! Thank you!!!

Thank you! Okay the pen holder - it is from Goldspot but I have also seen them on Amazon. I'll add the link to that and the Colorverse Gluon ink in the description. Do you have the glow green or glow purple TWSBI? I've got the glow green - love it!

ooohh.. thanks for the link... I haven't heard of the goldspot... I have the green one... I may or may not have bought the purple one for my daughter!! I am trying to get her on the fountain pen train!! Looking forward to another video!! @@lidl.doodle

Love Moleskine art journals! I do a lot of mixed media and watercolor in the A6 size.

Thank you! I was gifted a Pilot Lightive in a fine nib and I use it almost every day. I'm not a big fine point writer, but I do love the Pilot. It takes a cartridge so I'm fine with the standard black ink for this pen. Depending on your budget, I don't think you can go wrong with TWSBI. :-)

Ha! That's a tough one! Depends on the purpose - I love TWSBIs as a go-to daily writer. Diplomat Aeros are exquisite. I love my Sailors. Benus are funky and fun...I could go on forever!

Thank you for watching!

Ha! That's like asking me who my favorite kid is😜. Honestly, the lime green one is probably the most meaningful because it was my first one. And too bad those TWSBIs your mom bought you have disappeared.

@@lidl.doodle all I’m saying is it makes more space for more!

Thank you so much!!
