Always lovely to see a video by you, always making me happy! So many Van Diemans and Robert Oster, love love this! Congratulations for your new pens as well !! I am so interested in trying van diemans in the far future. That RO Romeo Juliet is still calling for me... :D
Aww thank you so much! 🥰 Aussie Aussie Aussie haha! Thank you! I'm so excited to have them. Ohhh you can start making a list of Van Dieman's inks you like haha. It might end up being a long list! RO R&J is lovely... lots of shading!
Pilot Blue used to be my favourite blue ink. It was the first blue ink that I actually enjoyed and made me consider other blue inks (blue inks used to remind me of school too much). Romeo and Juliet is a bit more blue/purple than Celadon Cat. I have a swatch of R+J and a sample of Celadon to compare. When I first saw R+J online, I thought it was a shimmer! (Confused by Wearingeul's collection that was released around the same time, which was two separate inks, with shimmer). The pink tone is more obvious on my swatch , which was created by scribbling the pen that had the ink on a swatch card instead of a painted swatch as you've done. Perhaps that elicits the variation in tone more?
Pilot inks are so well behaved! Oh, thank you for letting me know about the differences between R&J and Celadon Cat - I have been curious! I also thought there was shimmer when I saw R&J swatches online - I also thought it was darker! Can you provide a link to your swatches? Yes, I see pink in my swatch too (not sure if the video picks that up!). Yes, I think different methods of swatching + also the paper makes a difference to how the inks show up! Thank you for watching & commenting! 🥰
Really enjoyed this Lily. I think your new Monthly Inked System is brilliant. Hope you don't mind me pinching that to try in my Midori A5 Grid ? Nice Pens as usual and some inks there that I have not tried. 😊
Japanese Mediums (Sailor and Pilot) both look like Western Mediums haha! Rarely, though, some Sailor Mediums will write like a Japanese medium, but they all flow very well at Medium and Broad sizes. Platinum Medium and Broad are a bit thinner than the other two brands, from my experience. And YAY to your first Sailor! They're so smooth aren't they? Well, Mediums and Broads are ultra smooth from them, anyways.
Hey Lao! I always thought Sailor nibs were all super thin for some reason haha. 😅 So good to know, thank you! Yes, yay for me, thank you! 🥰 Yes, so smooth! I am very happy with it! I might have to try a MF in the future haha. Your Sailors & Platinum (that red onneee) are so beautiful! 🤩😍

That sounds like me haha! Hence the 10 pens & inks for the month that will turn into 15 pens & inks haha 😅
