Pam, wonderful video! I like this activity so much more than Diamine Inkvent or Colorverse Inkvent because it is a favorites collection. The catalog and cards were so much fun! Thanks for sharing all of my new favorite inks!

I find more success activating paints by using a few drops of water with a pipette, not spraying. Especially high granulating paints. One paint I have the most trouble with is Roman Szmal Aquarius Black. It is beautiful after it gets going but at first it will make you think you got a bad pan. But like I said, I never spray, only a couple drops of water. And I’m always afraid too much water would affect my metal pan and maybe rust.

Very nice pens and inks! I think the green ink looks great with that pen! You will not buy the new TWSBI Espresso in Bronze they will release soon? I am in my diehard TWSBI fan girl stage so I’m definitely getting the Espresso when it’s available! I love the 1.1 stub nibs! Thanks for the nice and relaxing video!

the cosmic glow and snow globe inks are gorgeous!!

I love the way you have presented various papers for the ink swatches. I did a similar activity a few years ago with a Hobonichi weeks and taped in copy paper strips for comparison. Love this!

I treated myself to the Lumos Duo for Christmas. My daughter gave me a gift card to Blick art supply. Wow!!!! I love ink and wash with watercolor and have always used the pigma micron pen, well…I’m in love with the lumos pen. I know I will buy more of the pens. Easy to fill and change nibs, though I have not tried reusing and changing color of cartridges. I think I will get the storage vials and just switch them out. I have the Carbon black permanent ink in my pen now and will get another pen and put Noodlers permanent sepia in the other. If I want other colors I’ll just use a dip pen. I am really enjoying this pen!!!

Nice collection of on the go pallets, Pam.

Pam, a beautiful painting of Rocky! I am sorry to hear of his passing. Hugs. What love.❤

I have several LAMY pens that I do not use. Some haven’t been inked since purchase, even the Rose Gold Lux. I purchased the new Blackberry last Spring, but gifted it to my para. Enjoy those fabulous pens!

Gorgeous colors! I look forward to seeing the next video.

I'm so sorry. 💔💔 Big hugs.

So sorry for your loss - Rocky is a handsome little man.

Love the watercolor on the go preparation!

Rocky was so fortunate to be a part of your family. ❤

So sorry for your loss ❤

Oh dear. I'm afraid I can't watch this yet. We said goodbye to our Violet this summer. I miss her like crazy. Sending you my sincere condolences on the loss of your sweet boy.

Sweet kitty, he was so lucky to have you.

They came in!

I like how you organize your ink swatches in your journal. Nicely done.

These look fun! I love the idea of refillable! Thank you!

Maybe I would use my gouache more if I had a palette for it. Good tip on using a water brush instead of the better brushes. Thanks always, Pam!

It’s a really cute palette. I think I would fill it with my own paint 😊

Beautiful selection of inks. Still not sure I want to resume the subscription. 🥲😊

Yay! I’m so proud of you! I have acrylics and gouache sets, but tend to avoid them because they are not easy to leave and come back to when painting. Your play session is beautiful! 🎨

All the gorgeous ink colors complement the sticker very well! Your swatch page looks beautiful.

I love your story. I recently ordered Steve Mitchell’s MaiMeri Blu set. I already have his M. Graham set. Enjoying your organization of pan sets.

Thank you, Pam. Happy New Year.🎉

Too bad they are American. Boycotting American products atm. Any Canadian alternatives you can suggest?

Love your nails, Pam!

Wow each one is so beautiful! I could not pick a favorite because each one is lovely. You are very talented!

It took quite awhile for me to purchase the LAMY 2000 because it lacked aesthetic beauty, but it has been constantly inked and in use since I received it! I love this pen!

I did the same thing as you but with a Narwahl pen. It has a piston filer and I thought it was vacuum and almost broke it before I figured it out. Duh. You must be about the same age as me as I had my first fountain pen experience in Catholic grade school. I started collecting fountain pens about 8 years ago and have so many that I need to sell some. At least I know what I like now. 😄

I was totally the opposite of you when I got my Lamy 2K. I used it month after month and now it’s clean and been put away for next year. In January, I intend to go through all of my pens in storage cases and see which ones I don’t want to use anymore & put them up for sale….. this is one way I’m going to add to my collection and keep the budget in check. 😂

I‘m in the same mindset for 2025 - to use my pens and inks and to not acquire another 50, haha. Thanks for your enthusiastic video. Happy New Year!

Hi Pam! The Lamy 2000 is indeed an iconic pen. I love it’s simplistic, yet elegant, design. Like with all pens, there are those that love it and those that dislike it. I‘d like to correct you on one fact. It has a 14k gold nib (not a stainless steel 14k gold plated nib). The nib is made of 14k gold and platinum coated, hence the silver look). Finding the „sweet spot“ mostly pertains to the <EF> and <F> nibs, which do not have a lot of tipping. If you hold them too much toward the side, they can skip.

The Charles Dunn book is excellent! Really enjoyed your review of the books.

I love the ink you chose to pair with the Kintsugi!

The natural 3 palette has a lot of unusual pigments in it, which I’m not surprised take a bit of time on rewetting. I love some of her natural palettes but I prefer a bit more punch from my paints and prefer the more standard paints in her range. I did buy it for my husband though who loves exploring interesting granulation. The art of soil palette looks amazing. I’d love to get my hands on that! Thank you for your video.

Merry Christmas! ♥

I love the Esterbrook also. I’ve been eyeing it up but don’t know if I can spend the money. Gorgeous pen….covet, covet. 😅

That so interesting about the Leonardo Kintsugi. When my fam and I recently visited the Japanese Garden here in Portland they had on exhibition those exact type of pottery pieces. Fascinating reading about this long tradition of saving broken pieces. Some of those pieces were absolutely gorgeous too. And I still want a King of the Night pen but still not in my pen budget 😢

😇💙🙏🙌

Great quote: "If you can see it in your mind, you can paint it."

Just stumbled across your video as it was in my playlist. I love your nails! Merry Christmas. Thanks for the video.

Totally beside the point, but your nails are so fun!!

loving that Esterbrook pen, and also the salted caramel ink

Thank you for the review. I have been eying these paints for awhile as these are Canadian made by an Anishinaabe company located on Manitoulin Island of Lake Huron, Ontario (my home province) in beautiful Georgian Bay. I really became interested in Indigenous creation of colour when I visited the north Pacific coast last year, home to the Haida and Squamish First Nations…the creators of beautiful totem poles (and promptly fell in love with the works of Emily Carr as well). For example, I learned that the lovely shades of blue on the totem poles were derived from copper. Anyways, tanks again for the review. It is inspiring.

I love pen / ink matchy, matchy! You did a fabulous pairing! I had not heard of the gold Leonardo pen. Interesting story. Good idea to use a royal purple ink with a golden pen. I almost purchased the 2024 ink, but I already have so much, too much, full bottles of purple ink. It was made by Colorverse. I am surprised to see its sheen on the page. I look forward to your next video!

My 11 yr. old granddaughter loves writing in my journals with my fountain pens. I would love to gift to her, but they are home schooled (with all the supplies to share ) and the youngest is 18 months old. The littles can’t be trusted yet. She is getting hand lettering manuals and TomBow markers for Christmas for sure. Pilot Varsity also offers disposable fountain pen sets. I have a set in my classroom. Love your new pen. I’ve been eyeing the green one. I can’t remember the names of each color.

Ah! Leftie writer here. I love broad nibs. Underwriter.
