OH NO! It sounds like you have fallen down the inky rabbit hole!!! Beware! Inks can become addictive! But truthfully, it is wonderful to have such colors in our lives and so much fun when we write with our fountain pens! All of my BPC inks are great! But you have introduced me to a couple that I am not familiar with and will have to check out. Thanks for doing this!
I like your swatch book and your cute ink stamp. The colors are beautiful. I would have liked to see the ink in writing even if was just the name of the ink. It is always a surprise for me when I swatch vs write with ink.
I suggest you try the Ferris Wheel Press inks! The quality is amazing and their inks have a huge variety. I suggest Atlas Iron Ore for a nice black with some glitter in it (if you like that kind of thing).
@@markyourpages congrats on becoming an affiliate! They're great people! Have you posted the review for your order from them yet? I'd love to hear your overall opinion!
That was fun 👍👍 It’s so neat how you just pull the notebook apart to open it. Your swatch book was a great idea and turned out perfectly as well 👏 I love the use of the adorable stamp. Fountain pens ✒️ have always been my favorite writing instrument. These inks are beautiful especially the blues, cast iron and black ice. I am curious as to why the Black Ice took a little longer to dry and why it was a little watery compared to the others. Thank you for sharing 👍👍 Stay safe healthy and happy ❤️✝️🇺🇸
Hi Tom. That is from Desk Gems. It's the Kodomo No Kao Bullet Journal Stamp called "ink color" you can get some money off using this link tinyurl.com/deskgems
Your swatchbook looks convenient to use, I to have more ink than common sense, for decades I was exclusively Parker Quink or Sheaffer Skrip black. Recently tried Pelican golden Beryl, then Diamine Inkvent Calendars, meanwhile I received a thank you note in KWZ Sheen Machine (dark blue with a magenta sheen), and that blew me for a loop! along with my search for a bottle of ink that shines like my Zebra 301 on glossy paper (still haven't found an ink like that). Recently Kiwi ink Quetzalcoutl did my Christmas letters (red with a complete green/gold sheen) I've grown fond of sheening inks.
The Plotter paper is 60gsm. It’s called Designphil Pocketbook Paper and is designed especially for PLOTTER. The density of the paper material is increased for durability and daily use.
"Apple Snail" sounds a lot worse than "Muskrat" to me!😂 I have "Ice Rink" from BPC and it's a nice medium to light blue that flows well. P.S. You remind me of Merv Griffin on his old talk show when he would exclaim, "Oooooo", as a reaction to one of his guest's telling of their Hollywood exploits.😮😮 😅

I really love these inks and the amazing colors. That's what makes them all so fun I think

Great idea for the future ones. I have some new ones on the way, so i will be sure to do a little writing sample too
I live in Pittsburgh and share a home with a fountain pen enthusiast, so this company has been on our radar! Thanks for my hometown rep. XD

I actually just became an affiliate with them and I’m such a fan of their inks. I’ll check that one out with my next order.

@@reddiewip not yet. I only have received 2 so far. I have some new ones from the most recent collection coming plus some soon to be released ones.
@@markyourpages can’t wait to hear your thoughts :) also, what fountain pens do you use if you don’t mind me asking?

Fountain pens are super fun and I’m learning about their types as I buy them.
I was wondering where I can find the ink bottle rubber stamp with the line? Great swatch book! Thanks for sharing 👍

The sheens are a really nice add. I love the color changes that happen with light.
How heavy is the paper you are using in your swatch book?

I’ll have to check ice rink out if they still have it. And thanks for the compliment. Merv is a legend.
Is Black Ice really black? 😮
It’s definitely more ice.
@@markyourpages meaning….? Lol.
@@augustoguardadojr.9259 it’s a pale dark blue more than a bluish black - if that makes sense
@@markyourpages Got it! Lol. Thank you!
