    If someone has never used a fountain pen before in their life and wanted to try one out, is there a reasonably priced newbie-friendly one you’d recommend? I’m lost where to even begin but want to try one. If you have a video addressing this I apologize. Thanks!

    • @mydandeliondiaries
      @mydandeliondiaries День тому

      This is a fantastic question!! I have not addressed it in a video yet, but it is on my list to make a beginner fountain pen video soon. If I could recommend ONE pen for a brand new FP user, I would recommend the Platinum Preppy. They are roughly $5-7 and have 3 nib choices. If you like a very fine line I would choose the Extra Fine, if you like a juicy thick line, get a Medium :) They also have various colors so you can have different colored inks in multiple pens for a very affordable price. There are a lot of other beginner friendly fountain pens that are great but the Preppy is by far the most affordable to start with.

      I second the preppy! And if you really love it and want to branch out into something a little more expensive I highly recommend either the TWSBI Go or Eco (non-special trim color ones are like 20-30 bucks and are so common that you can find them second hand easily) or a LAMY Safari. Both have a fair amount of options for nib sizes too I believe. I have a decently sized collection with some more mid-tier expensive pens (like an Esterbrook Estie or Sailor Pro Gear Slim) but while I don’t always ink them, I DO always either have my GO or Safari inked and in my purse.

    This is easily the most thorough One Book July video I have ever seen! The way you’ve organized the information from multiple books into your one Big Book is incredibly impressive. The heart of One Book July is to simplify, in whatever way works for you, especially since half of the current year has passed. It’s a time to review what’s been working and what hasn’t in hopes of simplifying, if that is what you want to do. You’ve done a fantastic job of exploring whether or not that would work for you. I love what you’ve done so far, and I can’t wait to see how July goes for you!

    I appreciate you doing this video even if it’s clearly not your cup of tea 🩸☕️🧛‍♂️ I was actually wondering what inks looks most like blood, I think that would be my main attraction to red ink (though I also like weirdly flat faded red/pinks for some reason). Not entirely blood related, but one ink I really want is wearingeul’s the plague because it reminds me of bruising. I like things to be just a little bit uncomfortable, spice of life 😂 samples of it are hard to come by for me though, and I’m afraid it’ll just write as a boring purple. Swatches can be so misleading 🥲

      @mydandeliondiaries День тому

      Thank you! I do like some "bloody" inks every now and then hehe. I haven't tried the Plague but from what I've seen it looks very dark purple with some sheen in writing. I do agree that swatches can showcase all the fun ink properties, but when you write with a fine nib those properties don't always shine through! 💝

    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.

      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.

      Thank you! It is by The Coffee Monsterz Co and Wonderpens 💝 I don't think it is available any more though 😢 I couldn't find it on their website.

    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.

    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 personally didn't think I would like RO Honey Bee but I actually enjoyed writing with it a lot. KWZ honey is a favorite of mine, I have never tried Old gold to be fair. I wonder what Monarca Rey Jaguar would compare to on these pages. I love all these ink explorations you are doing. One of my favorite type of videos.

    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
      @mydandeliondiaries 2 дні тому

      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.

    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!!

    This would be perfect for me if this was a page a day. I really want to try something other than the Hobonichi Cousin because I'm not the biggest fan of the paper. I find fountain pen ink bleeds through it when swatching. Also not a fan of dating everything myself... Anyone got ideas for me?

    • @mydandeliondiaries

      I haven't personally used one, but Hemlock and Oak has thicker paper than the Hobonichi and have similar layouts.

    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
      @mydandeliondiaries 2 дні тому

      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
      @AlongfortheThrill 2 дні тому

      @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.
