Thank you! I’ve been loving this pen! It’s so smooth and I think the color is beautiful. I ended up putting a purple ink in it 💜 Colorverse Delicious Sleep!
Love the colors of this one. Reminds me of peacock feathers. That's so cool that it can be used as a gel pen and a fountain pen to get more uses of out. Love that! I have a few custom pens with Jonathon Brooks resins and they are so beautiful. Enjoy it!
I was just browsing Jonathan’s site while this video was playing and saw one pen that caught my eye but it was sold ‘cause it is yours lucky girl! My Leonardo MZG 2.0 is in his Primary Manipulation 1 in a matte finish and just love the feel of it! I look for reasons to use that pen. Congratulations on your new pen and use it in good health in 2025! 🎉
Jonathan Brooks resins are the absolute best! Love his matte finish as well. On my radar at the Atlanta pen show. Great choice. Looking forward to seeing all your videos this year
Oh wow! What a nice pen! And so different to get it with a ballpoint nib too! But it’s great that you can switch the nib so easily between them! Regarding the nib, I haven’t really understood the difference between the numbers on the nibs (#6, #5 etc.) & wonder if you’d like to explain? And also - did you have to add the converter & the pen sleeve to your order on top of ordering the pen? (I guess you had to, but you could always wish both the pen & additions came in a whole set 😅). Lastly, the matte finish looks so good!! It looks like it’s a very smooth texture & not like plasticky - would you say it feels like that or in another way? Now I need to go & check out the pens on the website 😅 (and also watch your video with all your fountain pens for 2024). Thank you for always making such informative & good videos! ✨
I am no expert, but my understanding is the #6 nibs are bigger (for more full size pens) and the #5 nibs are smaller (more for smaller or pocket pens). I didn't add anything to my order! I just purchased the pen alone and everything else came along with it 💖 The matte finish is ULTRA smooth, almost velvet in feeling. It does not feel plasticky to me at all, it is very well done.
This is gorgeous. Please allow me to recommend Charlie Harvey at Wood Wonders of North Carolina. I have a few hand turned pens, but the level of detail and communication from them was second to none. Last year was my "year of maker" pens and this year is all about nib grinds for me - I'm hoping to try ten different or new-to-me grinds/nibs!
What's up ダニエル! Holy medium nib Bat Man. I have been writing with the Pilot F nib for weeks now and it shocked my system to see this JoWo F splashing ink on the page. 😁The pen is very gorgeous. So would a gel cartridge work in that pen as well? I love the Zebra Sarasas. If that worked, I just might let you talk me into buying one. 💜
I got a matte Jonathan Brooks pen (in his Dark Intentions resin) at the Baltimore show, and it feels so nice. I call the texture velvety. I think Jonathan actually tunes all the nibs he sells, because when I got mine I had to get it ground because I write at a much steeper angle than most people. Btw, if you're looking for a really good pen maker, my favorite is Zodiac Pens (I first heard about him from Karyna's channel). Bart is so talented. I have his Cancer model with Jonathan's Galaxy Prime resin, and the shape feels so nice in my hand
How funny that you mention the Zodiac Pen company! I actually have that EXACT pen on commission right now 😂😂😂 I saw the Galaxy Prime blanks and I was like I HAVE to have a pen in that haha
Okay, I’ve already found the pen I’d like to get on his website, but I don’t have the money for it 😢 Do you know if he’s making the same models/colour combos more than once? How many of the one you got were on the website when you placed your order, if I may ask?
I'm not sure if he has multiple of each model/resin. When I ordered this one the listing went "sold out" so I can imagine he has certain ones listed individually. I know he takes custom orders for pens (not sure how often) and lots of small makers use his resins for their bespoke pens. I am looking into getting pens from River City Pen co, Just Turnings, Hogtown Pens, and a few others. The bespoke/hand turned pen world is so vast!
I ended up inking it up with a purple, Colorverse Delicious Sleep! I do want to put shimmer in it at some point but I am really enjoying the more sheening/shading inks this month.
Congratulations on your new pen! Jonathan Brooks is the nicest guy and his resins are stunning. And great choice on the matte/satin finish!
Thank you Karyna!!! 💖 I've been admiring your hand turned pen collection and am venturing into ordering from some the brands you mention hehehe
Beautiful pen! Love the matte finish on it too!
Congratulations on your first maker pen! It’s gorgeous! I look forward to seeing what you end up inking it up with!
Thank you! I’ve been loving this pen! It’s so smooth and I think the color is beautiful. I ended up putting a purple ink in it 💜 Colorverse Delicious Sleep!
That multi use is so cool!!! What a beautiful pen, love the nib etching
It really is so cool and versatile! I love the etched nib too! I want to try other gel pen inserts and see if others I have fit in it.
It’s so pretty!! Happy New Pen Day!!
Thank you!

It is like peacock feathers! Great comparison. :) Thank you!!
That pen is lovely! Congratulations!
Thank you so much! I was so excited when it arrived 😊

Thank you!! I have a matte PM1Light on my wishlist for this year haha
This pen is GORGEOUS, wow! Loooove a Brooks resin 😍
Same! His resins just have so much depth to them!
i have been so curious about the matte.... I feel like i would LOVE the texture. This is a beautiful, beautiful pen!
I am obsessed with the Matte finish!! It is like velvet in hand, so soft and buttery feeling!!
Beautiful pen, enjoy it 😊
Thank you!
Gorgeous Pen! Happy Pen Day! 🎉
Thank you!! :)
so beautiful and I also love the JOWO nibs
They are so nice for steel nibs!
Jonathan Brooks resins are the absolute best! Love his matte finish as well. On my radar at the Atlanta pen show.
Great choice.
Looking forward to seeing all your videos this year
I'm so glad you are looking forward to the videos! I am hoping to get to a pen show this year in the fall but it depends on a few things.
Oh wow! What a nice pen! And so different to get it with a ballpoint nib too! But it’s great that you can switch the nib so easily between them!

Hi Rob!! On his site it says only Pilot G2 cartridges fit, but I think if there are other refills that are the same size they would fit okay.
I got a matte Jonathan Brooks pen (in his Dark Intentions resin) at the Baltimore show, and it feels so nice. I call the texture velvety. I think Jonathan actually tunes all the nibs he sells, because when I got mine I had to get it ground because I write at a much steeper angle than most people.

@@mydandeliondiaries You won't be disappointed! The sparkle is stunning

Blue is nice in it, but an oil slick black or blue would match nicely 😊 or maybe Diamine Solstice? The shimmer would match...🤔
I ended up inking it up with a purple, Colorverse Delicious Sleep! I do want to put shimmer in it at some point but I am really enjoying the more sheening/shading inks this month.
