Hi Maria, good to see you again! (I miss the 30inks-daily-dose ☺️) I see a pattern here… going for all kind of teal. I don’t think you won’t like teal anymore after a 30teal month. Somehow it’s more muted than pink -what do you think?

Thanks for the distraction that helped me do my dishes and feel normal for a few minutes. Signed someone with anxiety over things no longer impending. 😢

I really love your choice of pens and colors this month.

Diamine Eau de Nil looks awesome 😎

Lovely currently inked and a contrast to the previous pink month! Regarding the inks that are similar - you know what you like so why not go with inks that make you happy!! I’m looking forward to your videos of the ink advent calendar next month.

Yay! Maria is back!!! HEY MARIA, YOU'RE DOING GREAT!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Excellent colors! I usually try and ink at least one "accent color" because otherwise it is often a lot of purples, blues, and greens. 😂

I did a small quilt by hand and yes, the binding is the worst. I should have done it on the machine.

Excellent currently inked! I can definitely see how leaning into the moody darker colors would happen as a response to pink month. Advent calendars are awesome, but I didn’t grow up with them. It took me years into adulthood to embrace niche calendars, but since I did I haven’t looked back. I got some Stickii sticker advent calendars this year. Your quilt is amazing and congrats on finishing it. Good luck finding the next project. I am also a sucker for match 3 games, so I’m trying my best not to ask which ones were good enough to suck you in. 😹 Thank you so much for sharing! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

Great inks! If you're anything like me, you'll be almost instantly bored having two pens with similar inks, un-ink one of them and start with a new pen and new colour (which you may later regret - I can go through this several times in a day :) Currently waiting on a Pen Chalet FP day order (or oops) that comes with a free Tono and Lims ink. Have never tried this brand before, curious to see which Tono and Lims it will be! There might possibly have also been a Vanness order placed at the same time :D I grew up in a family of many different religions and so was always given a choice. My grandfather (who was also my Godfather) did his best to educate those of us that would listen about the various religions (among them Anglican/Church of England/Scottish Catholic, and living in a Lutheran neighbourhood). We had chocolate Advent calendars but were made to recite the Advent poem as children ("Advent Advent..."). My neighbour (Lutheran) eventually got Hotwheels calendars - but was still made to recite the Advent poem each day and discuss what he was reflecting on before he could go play with the toys :D I think any holidays that started out as religious observations are now made very commercial - even Hallowe'en goes back centuries and was not about candy.

Great to see a video from you! I’ve recently had an accident that left me with a broken leg and immobile so I’m here for ALL the videos! Looking forward to advent ink calendars and would enjoy seeing you open a wine or chocolate one at the same time. 😂

I’ve gotten a tea advent over the years and enjoyed it a lot.🫖

I do mine the same way: machine, then hand slip stitch.

I grew up Catholic, so Advents weren't a thing. Discovering them as an atheist adult, they're great. I get ink, wax melt, candle, and chocolate ones, and spread them throughout the winter months to add a little gift to those darker days

Advent calendars feel like can go either way. I love getting them for my grands. At the Aldi here they have both wine and beer advents…also hot sauce, coffees, and teas.

Watching some of the videos I missed from the past. Loved this one because you said‘isn’t it ironic’ and we both said ‘don’t you think’ at the exact same time. Confirming that we should be friends…😁… haha! Goes to show CA and AL aren’t as different as some might think.

so pretty!! Love October for you. I adore my fine kakuno’s (both have iroshizuku inks in them) they are so buttery to write with, mine are F which work well for me in the weeks with the smaller areas to write with.

Awesome currently inked! My faves of yours is the Mayfair pen and the F-C Salmon Glow. My faves inked up are a Platinum Preppy Maki-e 2 series inked with The Wet Pen Gas Works Park, and an Opus88 Demo with a modified 6.0mm Parallel nib inked with Troublemaker Milky Ocean, which you definitely inspired. That ink is so good. I also have issues with my steel Pilot nibs in the Kakuno and the Prera. They write so dry. The best thing I’ve found for them is using a very wet ink, wetter than Iroshizuku if you have it. Something like Writer’s Blood maybe. Then I get a line width and flow that I’m actually happy with. 😹 Thank you for sharing and being awesome! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

This is a wonderful wrap up and comparison video. I’m totally saving this for future reference. Thank you so much for sharing! 🤘🏼😸💗🖋

What a great day to be reminded of the awesome song again. Oh do you remember? The 21st night of September? 💃 🕺

I agree - pilot wtf? Would it be so bad to sell a couple f m b replacement nibs? Thanks for biting the hands that feed you. If you did not make such great pens I would never buy a pilot because of that, but your pens and nibs are so good. I STILL HATE YOU for not offering nib for sale by themselves.

U crack me up. U hit me out of left field with a particular comment. I love it. Example”here is my pilot cacuno. I hate this pen. “ I don’t have to worry about you telling me how you really feel. It’s great I love most of my pens but sometimes u get one and yuck. It sucks. Or hopefully later on after the first shock. I’m like oh it a nice change from all the thick writing nibs

Love pink inks!

Hi Maria, „Both got the color wrong but in the same way“- I laughed so much! Thanks for your always entertaining videos (that’s why I miss 30pinks a bit now ☺️). So many pinks! Yay! You picked the punchiest and I like it a lot 💕 I can’t pick a fav though, I have at least 3-4 pen-ink-combinations that are perfectly matched!

I put a goulet broad nib on my kakuno cos I hated the nib. 😅 That Newton pen is stunning.

Hehe, the big Pilots made it to you. I‘m curious about the TonoLims, does it change color? It’s supposed to be a blue or light purple?

You can get replacement nibs for the pilot kakuno search Pilot #5 replacemet nibs

What's up Maria! Savoring...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know exactly what that means. Use your pens!!!💜

It’s a lovely line up both the blues and the pinks and the pens! The Herbin Fuschia is amazing. See you next time!!

What a nice, varied color pallet. Some really nice pens, nibs, and colors! HEY MARIA, you're doing AWESOME! 🥰🥰🥰

I am loving Diamine Steel Blue.

I like the Bays.

One of ny closest friends has a Kakuno fine among her regular work horse pens. I have never understood that. 😊 She and I prefer different nib sizes, ink colors, and pen body styles. I think we overlap in some of our paper preferences, journal styles, and ink brands. 😂 I love a hobby with enough variety for everyone!

Kosumosu is in my cart awaiting payday…I have a pen waiting for it!

I love the aquamarine combo you have and all the pinks! Of my own I’ll have to say my favorite this month is my Lamy 2000 inked with Diamine Marine. Thanks for the video!

Love the inks this month. Do you have the new con-40 in the Kakuno (3 small agitators instead of one)? I find that the type of converter really improves ink flow and the line tends to get thicker - not sure if you can still get the old con-40 though. Might also want to try a really wet ink in that pen, the kakunos tend to write dry. You probably still won't get a medium like TWSBI medium but it helps - I'm the opposite, love fine precise lines, except when my writing gets shakey, then it just looks horrible, lol!

On the Kakuno just replace it with a Wing Sun nib. I love the Kakuno Medium. I use it like a fine lol! That's an assortment of colours this month indeed!

I agree SO MUCH aboutbthe Kakuno medium being whatever it is but not a medium I have several for work, and I am very disappointed every day when I try to write with them and they are skinny and not big juicy lines of beautiful link

The loose FC caps are so annoying! But Salmon Glow FOREVAH!

Well after your 30 days 30 pinks I ended up with ordering 15 of them and then I found another video with purples and they are all coming too . ❤❤❤I loved the series and I need to learn to not have 30 pens inked but I'm only a newbie to this. Learning so much.

I use(d) trillion for a long long time. It’s still installed I think but with most chat platforms shut down and discord the mainstay, there’s not much use for it anymore. Plus they’ve focused on business use now anyways

If I look at this Divine Pink as a dark pink, I like it. But if I look at it as a red, I’m not into it. My least favorite reds are the ones that lean pink. So I’m totally considering this as a pink for selfish reasons. 😹 I love your explosive splat technique. It feels like a splat to the finish line 🏁! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

I love this pink, but I agree, I like the tone of VD Tasmanian Robin Pink better except for less shading. I’m finally going to start my catch up for 30 inks videos, so it’s binge time now! 🎉 All the pinks in one day! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

What's up Maria! I do like that Tono and Lims blue shade. 🥰💜

Hi Maria, oh you needed to save the two! They need to stay together 💕… because… pretty?!! Keep us updated how you feel about the grip section. I‘m eying this model, too-especially in a matte color

Don't talk about the vein... Subscribed !

Big up the Lamy studio. I do the very same with my ink card book 😀

Hiiiiieeee so I too am so happy to see a new stuff day video. I’m proud of both of us for maintaining composure during 30 pinks month. I only got one but I believe my second will likely be kodumosu…I have a pen that needs it. If it flows like Yama Budo I’ll be so happy. Fun video! Have a great week!

Oooooooo...UV ink! I didn't see much, but it's often real hard for any camera to capture UV fluorescence. You LED appeared blue on my screen, does it light up other things (like $20 bills) okay? Might just be screen calibration / camera settings. Your Wearingul swatchbook conundrum is why I chucked my first ink journal - I couldn't re-organize the pages as I added new colors and brands because it was wire-spiral bound! I moved to a Kokuyo "three-ring but way more than three rings" binder so I could move stuff around. Too bad Wearingul's book isn't in something like a three-ring binder - that would be IDEAL. Glad you're making these videos - I really enjoy them - after 30/30 pink was over I was like - oh no - no daily dose of Maria - what am I going to do and these are tiding me over nicely until the next 30/30 (or whatever) kicks off! HEY MARIA, YOU'RE DOING GREAT!!! 🥰🥰🥰Major the Cat just walked in and says hello. 😻😻😻

I had to write the name (Maboroshi) on my Tono & Lims Kaleidoscope Pure ink box, because the name was written only in Korean.
