Noodler's Ink "Lucky Shamrock" Limited Release! (Bonus Giveaway!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 бер 2024
- I had the fantastic luck to get my hands on the Noodler's Ink limited release "Lucky Shamrock" fountain pen ink! This ink is a limited release of only 288 bottles! The label is quite cute for this ink! This is a St Patrick's Day themed ink in a bright teal that becomes a deep shade of green when layered. I decided to try the ink in my Pineider Avatar UR with a "Medium" nib. The ink writes very nicely in this pen and it tends to write a little on the drier side. This ink is another wetter ink from Noodler's with some bleedthrough on the back of the paper where it pooled. I quite like the color and think I will use it for this month to change up my usual ink.
Giveaway is Closed.
I will be giving away one bottle of Noodler's "Lucky Shamrock" ink to one lucky winner!
1. Just comment about something about fountain pens below!
2. The contest runs through St. Patrick's Day, March 17th 2024.
3. I will tag the winner in the comment section to notify.
This contest is given by me and is not sponsored in anyway.
Supplies Used:
Pineider Avatar UR
Tomoe River Paper Notebook
Onion Skin Paper Notepad
This color is so unique and beautiful!
I'm in a phase where I've slowed down on buying anything new and I'm enjoying using what I already own. I'm getting to know which inks I enjoy in which pens.
Noodler's black is my go-to for long writing sessions. I'm in to dip pens (glass & steel nibs) as well as fountain pens and that ink works well with both. On nice paper I like a medium nib (Platinum 3776) and on regular paper, I use a Pilot Metropolitan or fine nib so I don't get bleed-thru or feathering. Honestly, I could blather on and on about fountain pens!
You might give Noodler’s _Texas Black Bat_ a try. A Dromgooles exclusive, it’s a great performing, nearly pure black ink (seems like it uses grey undertones only) that is second only to the unobtainium _Proctor’s Ledge_ (also from Noodler’s) in terms of darkness.
@@MisterMeanor Thanks for the suggestion!
Montiverde Ritma, 1.1 stub with Noodler's Apache/Southwest Sunset, chef's kiss... I don't own any green inks yet, really just getting into the hobby, but that does look like I beautiful color. Keep up the awesome videos!
hi, I am newish to fountain pens & as my ink obsession grows, most of my sample choices are green & purple. I like broad nibs (& double broad) I adore all things Ireland & St Patrick's is my favourite holiday of the year. I am in Australia so I hope your contest includes international 😊 This ink is absolutely beautiful !!
That ink is gorgeous! It's cool they incorporated blue in there - little nod to historical accuracy 😂 I've been troubleshooting a Monteverde Ritma recently, so I've been appreciating my Pilot Prera more and more because it's never caused me any grief and its pleasurable to write with
That’s a very unique ink. At first, it looked like two different inks! I think that would go nicely in my nahvalur voyage Miami pen. So, my son just moved down to Virginia Beach, we’re in Michigan. I visited and went to a pen lovers paradise. I told her I found her shop because I watch you! She was delighted. I’m going back in April, I think I need a new blue passport tn!
What an interesting green. I like exploring how ink-pen combos change the writing experience
Thanks for giving the opportunity to win a bottle, that is quite generous of you! That looks like a great ink for my Nahvalur Nautilus!
Recently, I have been trying to expand my colors when it comes to ink. Im a fan of dark saturated inks, so I've typically gone with blues and blacks. Lately, purples and greens have been grabbing my attention, and this ink looks beautiful!
Right now my favorite go-to Ink Is Noodles Wampum purple in a Lammy Safari with an extra fine nib. I think I've settled in as Noodles being my go to ink company, not just for the value but I just love the variety and all the different properties like forge resistance, bulletproof, eternal. Plus I enjoy the fact a lot of their colors are based on things. One of my absolute favorites that is always in my rotation is it blue black that's an exclusive to a in NYC store, it's matches the same blue black ink that the people on Ellis island would use to sign their name. How cool is that.
This is the coolest shading ink I’ve seen in a long time.
I've been having fun with it!
I never heard of layering inks before. But that really cool from teal to green. Would probably see that effect from a wet and thicker nib size.
Just got into fountain pens and ink! As an artist I love using different tools and so far using a fountain pen is something special. I haven't got to try a lot but I want to use different inks too.
Never heard of this brand before, but I love the color of this ink too!
I just got this ink for my wife to use in her Benu 4 Leaf Clover Talisman. I put it in my Noodler’s Charle pen to play with. It’s an amazing ink! The shading is fantastic the way it changes from a green to a blue depending on where the ink is thickest. Noodler’s really outdid themselves on this ink.
This is a beautiful color! This looks like it might be my favorite Noodler's limited edition lately. My favorite fountain pen-related thought is that I find myself preferring medium nibs over fine nibs lately. They just write nicely and you get more of the color. The only downside is they often feather too much for some of the cheaper paper I come into contact with on a daily basis.
Thanks for the video and the look at this beautiful ink!
fairly new to fountain pens. Its crazy how much more I look forward to drawing and writing now. I'll have a thought or idea I want to write down and often times i forget what I was going to say because I want to make the letters look good. I need to learn calligraphy haha. glad I found your channel.
I'm really surprised how much of a colour gradient comes from this Lucky Shamrock ink. Thanks again for the demonstration.
My current fountain pen thing I've been doing is trying to locate a new bottle of Sheaffer Skrip Red, because, apparently, that line has been discontinued. They've replaced them with the smaller 30 ML "vintage" series. Finally did track one down in England today.
First time seeing your videos and the ink splatter took me by surprise! Great video and a lovely colour of ink.
I have been looking at the Traveller's brass fountain pen for a while, and finally bit the bullet and I'm obsessed! That little pen is so fun to use! It's a fine nib but still quite wet. I'm really enjoying it! - Also I have to say, the magnetic closure on your pen was very satisfying to hear during your video! 😍
Beautiful ink! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this. I started getting into fountain pens in 80's as a young lawyer who still did some drafting by hand on legal pads. There has been such a revolution in inks since those days! A wide variety of colors. Lots of "indie" manufacturers and international ink brands much more readily available in the United States.
I'm thinking Noodlers Lucky Shamrock might make a good match with my green striped Pelikan M800.
That would be a nice pairing!
That ink is interesting. It looks green and then teal as is gets lighter. Very nice.
I love red fountain pen ink (I bought Grinch Garnet and Catfish Cupid's Legion), but this looks insanely cool! I also love vacuum fillers and Japanese eye-dropper fountains the best, especially since they can really show off the ink in the barrel of the pen!
I love that the Noodler's inks are filled to the brim 😄
I bought Platinum 3776 Jade in medium recently and filled with Diamine Inkvent Black Ivy. One of the smoothest nib&ink combo 💚
My current love (changes all the time)
is a Leonardo Momento Zero in Baltic Snow with silver trim. It has a CSI grind on an Elastic F nib. It is currently inked with Birmingham Pen Company's Sterling Silver.
That is a very interesting green color. More than I thought it would be. Cool!
I've been matching ink colors to the months/seasons since last summer but I'm finding it somewhat confining, and indeed feel as though some of the other colors are getting jealous and may mutiny any day now.
Wow, the transition from turquoise to green is amazing on this ink. I can't believe how many little variations in ink qualities there are. It's not just every shade of the rainbow; I'm blown away by sheening and shading too.
When the syringe is starting to feel “tight” that prob means it’s time to get a new one since the black rubber part that moves up and down is getting worn out. You can prob keep the blunt tip part if you want. But typically harder to find the plastic parts of the syringe separate
This one I'd only used 3 times so I think it's just a tough one.
Thanks for the videos! Cycling through my pen likes I find that I’m coming back to my Mont Blanc 147 traveler with a fine nib after preferring broad and broad stubs for a while.
Seems like a perfect summer green, perfect contrast tone for my Kilk Laterna 😊 ☘️
Such a stunning colour and I love the variation. I can only imagine what it looks like irl 🤩
• One thing that I appreciate about my fountain pens is the joy that they bring me when writing with them. It's probably a bit clichéd but I enjoy the experience of writing as opposed to simply picking up a pen as a tool.
• Also, the fact that we do not need to use the most expensive "best" pen to get such joy. I adore the writing experience of my humble Muji Fountain Pen because of what the pen means to me. It is not the "best" pen in my collection and is one of the cheapest, but it is one of my favourites.
Thank you for sharing with us, Logan. You have such a great collection of pens 😊🤩🤤
Thanks for showing this great shading. I'm lately into vac fillers, but yesterday kaweco showed that new and long waited for sport piston filler...
Thanks for the giveaway! Fountain Pens are neat!
Looks like a beautiful ink! I loved your video and was very happy to find that the color is still available at Dromgooles, so I ordered this one and a few of their other Noodler's exclusives at the same time. Thanks for the wonderful video 🙂
Hey! Crazy running into you here. I guess I'll take this opportunity to let you know that replacement bottle of Deception Pass just came in today safely in one piece! Really appreciate you sending a new bottle, as well as the hand written note. I haven't inked it up quite yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
@@PalehorseThirteen :-) Glad it arrived safely! I'm still getting over my jetlag from Japan... ugh. Deception Pass will give you a fair amount of variation between papers, so don't forget to experiment with it on different types 🙂
Another lovely Noodler's ink!
I've never tried Noodler's inks before. My current favorite is Diamine Honey Burst in a fine Nahvalur Asfur Bronze. It's the perfect shade of caramel.
My husband bought me a LAMY Safari for Hanukkah last year and didn't realize I had been obsessed with fountain pens when I was 10. He unwittingly unlocked a 10yo with the salary of an adult. 🤣 I recently got a glass dip pen that I've been trying to find the right technique for using without flooding the page for the first line or two...
Thanks for an interesting review. Currently thinking I could experiment more with color than I do.
I am spending a lot of time with my Custom 74 in medium with Birmingham Pens Black Ice. I love the look of this ink!
Just got my first fountain pen and love it. I’d love to have this green!!
Oh, well that is just a beautiful ink. I adore how Nathan just keeps creating honestly really beautiful limited run inks like this. Grinch has been my favorite so far mainly due to the color change I get from it a few seconds after writing.
Oh I would love to have a green ink in my collection and Shamrock looks really nice. Definitely would like to see what it looks like coming out of my Pilot Metro
I’ve recently picked up a quirky trait of saving pictures of handwriting from the 18th and 18th century.
It has in no way been to plunder flourishes for my own style. 🤫
Always enjoy your videos. I am in the fountain pen phase of inking and enjoying all and paring down to the pens i love most except my twsbis. I will keep those
I like the color, the way it goes from teal to deep green. I currently enjoy my Pelikan M600 in EF nib, inked with De Atramentis, Alexander Hamilton
Thanks for introducing me to Dark Matter, now my go to ink! I know not the topic here…😊
Very pretty green. Have Diamine Holly inked up right now.
I love the way an ink can behave differently in different pens. It's fun finding the ideal pairing.
Thanks for such a great review. Seems to be a great ink for washes :)
I have more inks than I need right now, but I love Noodler's inks and I love St. Pat's day (and everything green.) I will be putting it into a "jade" Noodler's "Nib Creaper" flex pen. :-)
That’s a beautiful green! My current favorite pen (well, the one I keep reaching for lately, anyway) is a simple Jinhao 82 in - guess what - mint green ☘️
what a great seasonal ink, id definitely put it into the same category as BSIAR or blue nose bear
I hate how much I love Sailor pens, especially the 21k nibbed ones, I have 6 other pens inked but I always use the Sailor one. My husband got it for our anniversary, the Every Rose Has Its Thorn. Not my favorite colorway but wow am I obsessed with the writing 😭 also Benus 🖤
My current favorite inks are everything Pilot iroshizuku and especially all the blue variations.
My current fave is a TWSBI 580 pen. I am new (about 5 months now) so decided to ease into it. I've been a convert and slowly trying other brands. Just picked up my first estie and based on one of your videos going to try a pilot vanishing point.
Oh no I love it. Green that fades to turquoise ❤
Hello, I’m new to the fountain pen and ink world! My favourite pen is a Kaweco Student. Love watching your videos, so calming!! Thanks!
Green is a tough color for me to like in inks. It may be the camera, but this is not a green I'd associate with Ireland. And count me out on a free bottle!! Thanks for an interesting review. I ported it to FPG forum.
I made a decision this year that my favorite nib for Pilot Vanishing Points are the Fine points. Thankfully, this will help relieve any decision making for future VPs. My Vanishing Point Stub nib is also wonderful to play with but all I need is one.
@blushnblue You are the winner! Congrats!!! Thanks so much for entering! If you have Instagram shoot me a message there. If not we can get something else straight.
@@curatedavalon Logan, thank you so very much!! I have sent you a message on your IG account. I cannot wait to play with this ink!
Can one have too many teal inks? Of course not. Just got my hands on a Pilot 742 FA. It’s so much fun.
my current fav pen is of course my newest! a Eureka ebonite fountain pen in green and black ripple!
Current pen thought is this would go perfect in my kaweco bronze. It's like on oxidize bronze.
Thanks for review and multi-modal applications. This is a really nice green, quite rich. My entry for the ink giveaway is a little fountain pen haiku for this and all inks. Ink molecules flow. On hard rubber then gold. Forever on page.
Currently into my new Kanilea fountain pen. Cheers! :)
my current favorite fountain pen-ism.... probably Sailor Manyo Yogomi ink
Lots of greens that go on the blue side, I wonder why we don't get more that shade to the yellow end 🤔
I am interested to see if this ink shades with more color variation than other emerald inks (which are my favorite bright inks to use).
I wonder if Noodler's will present a July 4th ink in 2024 to continue the holiday ink series.
Woah that's so cool
It's Teal !!! 😡, and not the "Green" in what I thought was a "Green" color.
Adding some black ink to it might get interesting. You never know!
I'm tempted to pick up a bottle. Too bad that it requires a shipping premium. On that note: I've been experimenting with larger-bodied pens lately, particularly pens shipped in from China. The Jinhao X159 made me realize that the writing experience is more comfortable with a larger pen, and so I experimented with the Jinhao Dadao 9019. The 9019 has quickly become a favorite, in daily rotation for the last few months. I'm now researching other large-bodied pens, realizing that this is my niche and preference. My Lamys and Faber Castells are going to be mostly abandoned or sold; I never want to reach for them anymore.
Interesting, I've recently seen reviews of that 9019 and can hardly believe what I'm seeing. For $15, I'm going to try one.
@@senior_ranger I hope you get a good one. That pen leaked into our fork of the timeline from the good fork. If the nib is good, it's worth $80 or more.
