Ink swatching! Birmingham Pen Company's Diving Bell and Lighthouse
Переглядів 3122 місяці тому
Hi friends! Time for some ink swatching! This time we are unboxing Birmingham Pen Company's Diving Bell and Lighthouse. I used my handy dandy brass kakimori nib that I got from my shop, Amarillo Stationery. The super cool nib holder is by Papa J Woodworks. One thing I've noticed is that these bundles sell out super fast. So if you want to collect them, act fast!

Hi Friends! Back again with a super sweet Dapper Notes pocket notebook. The colors here are just so *exquisite* I almost walked away in the middle of recording because of how ridiculously good this is. Honestly.

Hi Friends! This year was my first time taking my shop, Amarillo Stationery, outside of Chicago! Not gonna lie, I was pretty anxious leading up to the travel date.

Anyway, lots of lessons learned and I'm g...

Thanks Erick for sharing. Couple colors way too light and Heavy on the gray blue shades.
Thanks for watching! 🙌🏽
I’m to FP/inks and so I enjoyed seeing this calendar. I liked a lot of the colors, but I’m going to wait and see what colors get chosen for bigger production.
Sounds like a great plan!
You can give that winkled notebook a quick press with a low heat iron with no steam (ie totally empty water reservoir) and it should sort it out. I suggest about 5 seconds on each side.
Ahh! Thanks for the tip 🙌🏽
I preferred the Diamine Inkvent. But of the Colorvent inks, I really enjoyed White Hole's chromoshading. The NGC2264 is my favourite of this set this year.
Yeah, White Hole is interesting!
What nib holder are you using? It's beautiful!
Thank you! This is from Papa J Woodworks on Instagram. He’s about to drop some really cool fall themed ones
Absolutely gorgeous! 100% 😹
Yes!!!!
What I need is one of the pen sellers to create their own inkvent calendar using samples. I'm not interested in 15 mL bottles especially when so many colors are similar.
Enigma Stationery sells one :)
Thanks for sharing the colors with us and showing them under different types of light! The sunlight really showed some of the colors nicely! Definitely thinking of picking this up for myself!
So glad you found it helpful! And thank you for sticking through til the end. The direct sunlight indeed shows the colors very beautifully! 🙌🏽 Happy inking!
The box really is basically an art print! (but the best version I hear is going to be up on Mustard Beetle's site soon)
Ahhh that’s exciting! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
So, I am just gonna say it: this is just... bad. A lot of greys, a lot of pale non-inks and the few nice ones are pretty standard colors that can be found anywhere. Diamine has already done most of these colors in previous inkvent calendars. Plus, the colorvent costs more than twice the price of the inkvent on my side of the world. I am super glad I did not waste my money on it.
Glad you found the video helpful! The color palette was definitely a choice but the calendar does have a handful of good ones 😊
@_erickgama_ They are very basic inks with no interesting properties, that do not justify the extravagant price. I wouldn't terribly miss the scented inks, but no sheeners either (except one, I think)?? And only 4 shimmers (3 of which have exact dupes in previous inkvents). And the shimmer is the standard kind, no one else comes even close to diamine's innovations there with their chameleon and starbright ones. Diamine has even done inks that change color as they dry (a very impressive property) as far back as 2021 (seize the night). Then Colorverse come around 5 years later to offer a bunch of standard inks at double the price. Colorverse is always overpriced and overhyped IMHO. This colorvent is a huge let down... I do not understand how people like it...
Second color all look blue to me. Could you zoom in to the individual or final swatches? Please
Zooming in to each individual color would’ve made this so much better.
Welp!
@ I’m sorry. I’m 53. I really can’t see them even with my glasses on.
This is the best video showing how you have actually used it. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I hope to do an updated one soon but it’s a lot of the same :)
Joe Little makes the best pens. I have about 10 of his pens so far. 2 Candy Nougat s in the mix but mine have the sparkle caps and section. I’m addicted to your vids, man. ❤
Awesome pen!!!
He’s killing it with the pen game!!
Papa J rules! I recently got a pen from his Halloween drop❤👑
I really love all the grays. Their Matter and Anti-Matter are my favorite grays ever. Great video! Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful! They are some interesting greys :)
@@deanandreoli1975 Yes, grey is a very festive color... That's why they have 5! in an advent calendar... LOL
Thanks for sharing and spoiling! I'm obsessed with your nib holders! Where'd you get em? 😊
Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤗 the nib holders are from Papa J Woodworks! Let him know I sent you 🤭 you can find him on Instagram and his website
You made my day! Thank you!!!!
You’re so sweet! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for saving me soooo much money! So enjoyable watching you swatch these! Where did you get that holder for your dip nib?
So glad you found the video helpful! 😁 the nib holders are by PapaJ Woodworks on Instagram. He’s got some really cool stuff and he’s getting ready for a new drop here soon!
FYI: There are comments behind each of the doors when you open them.
Yea, there are. I meant to put that in the description but forgot. Such a neat addition
Less shimmer inks YAY! I'm so glad and so glad I bought this advent and not the Diamine! I still may pick up the DIamine when it goes on discount after the holidays... Thanks so much for swatching! Your swatch layout was beautiful♥ I love all things space, and this advent calendar is on point with my other hobby: back yard astronomy, astrophotography, and visually viewing of the universe's deep space objects with my telescopes!
Omg yeah! This sounds like it was made for you! Glad you found the review helpful and thank you for watching! 😊
Thanks for the preview
You’re very welcome! 😊
Thank you Rosette Nebula was my fav
Glad it will be getting some love!
Good buy, thank you for sharing. I haven't try any colorverse ink before, do they have any unpleasant smell?
I haven’t noticed any unpleasant smells :)
I really liked Blue Moon, Brinicles, Pulsar Pulse, Smiling Stones and White Hole. 😇🩷🙏🙌
Yay!! And turns out it is Sailing Stones 🤭🤭🤭 I couldn’t read my own handwriting hahaha
Oh no! Sorry! 😆❤️🙏
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been waiting for someone to showcase this colorvent calendar. I was on the fence because it's expensive but now I want to get it for myself. ❤❤❤
Thank you for watching and glad you found it helpful! 🤗
Love this Erick and thank you so much for the shout out and link. There are some good colors in this. Days 4,5,7,9,10,17,19,22 & 24 I’ve narrowed down to my favorite. Hehe. Cuz my brain needed to see the difference…Colorverse has a total 360 ml, Diamine has a total 318 ml (42ml difference) for a difference of $60 I love how this one had no sheen and more standard colors. That’s more my vibe.
Thanks for the ml / dollar difference! That’s very very helpful! 🙌🏽
I need to check out your video one more time so I can see how well I’ll like it hahah
@@_erickgama_ 😂
@@_erickgama_ yeah I’ve been wanting to see the total difference but needed it opened haha
I’ve see both the Colorverse and Diamine 2024…and I gotta say the new Korean boy in this game appeals to me most.
Love that!
I'm only doing Diamine this year so it's kinda fun to be able to get in on SOME type of spoilers (I like to be surprised with Diamine), but I'm so glad you made this video; I saw some swatches of this over on Reddit and was underwhelmed but loving this so much more (I feel like your lighting situation is giving truer to tone)! Thank you, Thank you!
Yay!! Glad you found the video helpful, Julia! Also, hopefully the two types of lighting helped out :)
Thank you so much for this video! I was really on the fence about this advent calendar and feeling the fomo but as pretty as the colours are, they're not really the colour families I gravitate towards. Whew, I'm very happy with my Diamine advent calendar and looking forward to everyone posting their swatches and enjoying their calendars.
Glad you found it helpful! 😊
😍
These swatches are much better than Diamine Inkvent this year. Thank you for sharing. I'll be picking up this one soon. Have a great day! 😊😊
Yay! Glad to hear it! Thank you for watching! 😊
Thanks for sharing, I was hoping someone would post this spoiler…. I am so tempted for this set. LOVE the tiny little bottles ❤
The tiny bottles are so cute! And I almost didn’t post the spoiler but it would’ve been a disservice to us! 😅
@@_erickgama_ oh i loved the spoilers on such things. I bought an inkvent a few years ago, and didnt like many of the inks in it at all and felt like I wasted my $. Now I can make an informed decision about what it has to offer. (If I bought it myself I wouldnt wait to open a bottle a day… I just cant help myself. )
Yay! 🎉 thank you so much! Definitely getting this one over Diamine ❤🖋️
Glad you found it helpful! 😊
Thanks Erick! I've been waiting for someone to swatch these. Unfortunately I can't find it here in the UK but prefer it to the Diamine advent calendar as I'm not a fan of shimmer inks so nice to see there are only a few here. NGC 2264 is my favourite!
NGC 2264 is good! I’m glad you like it and hopefully someone soon carries it in the UK!
milk way is my favorite!
It’s sooo fun!
Thank you SO very much for taking the time to do this AND for sharing it, Erick! It is reqlly appreciated! ❤
You’re very very welcome! And thank you so much for watching! 🤗
Thank you for sharing. Love the colors but too pricey for me . What 3 colors will you vote for?
Definitely pricey! And thank you for watching! I’m really loving Christmas Star, so that’s a definite. Still have to think of the other two :)
OK I have always kind of been an advent hater, especially for colorful stuff because I am picky about colors. Well I love this one. They hit it out of the park for me. Imma buy it. Thank you for taking the time to swatch them all.
Glad you found it helpful! Happy swatching! :)
24? What happened to Xmas day ink?
Colorverse said Christmas is overrated hahaha jk
I'm not watching the video, just commenting for the algorithm. My calendar hasn't arrived yet and i'm still deciding if I will wait until December (I have the Diamine advent calendar too) or even saving it until January. That will be tough.
I’m excited for you when you decide to open it! 🤗🤗🤗
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hole I like Brinicle and Giant Sunspot. Thanks
I like Milky Way and Christmas Star. Also curious how White Hole will look when inked
I need to ink that up. It may be ok :)
THANK YOU for this because I was so curious about this ink-vent.
Glad it was helpful!!
Thanks for this, they are beautiful! Gongs have to watch it again before I make a decision…
BTW, I really like Milky Way and Christmas Star, they are very unique.
@@CurlyDeee Easily two favorites!
What "magic wand" are you using to do the actual swatching?
Using Papa J Woodworks nib holders with kakimori nibs in brass and steel :) I have Kakimori nibs in my shop www.amarillostationery.com
