As a chronic EF/F nib user, I've been terrified of shimmer inks for a long time (except for a few select inks) because I've had some awful, awful clogging issues with so many of them. I've been so torn about getting Old Man and the Sea for a while because I love that ink and shimmer combination, but also I don't want to be disappointed with another shimmer ink that won't flow properly for daily use. Your video just convinced me to jump for it! ❤❤
I’m a big fan of your videos- I think this is my favorite ink lineup of yours that I’ve ever seen! Thank you for all of your content! I’ve learned so much and always enjoy watching 😊
Another great video. Watching your content is hard on my bank account. I love your taste in pens and always get ideas on what to buy next from you. Today it’s that gorgeous Radius Settimo Marmo Bianco. Thanks for sharing.
I intentionally had a rainbow palette last month and I really enjoyed it! I love a variety depending on my mood. Hope you have a wonderful month with your pairings!
I have a bottle of the cactus fruit eel, I love it in finer nibs because it still pops but dries well. In my usual broad nibs, it's smear central with any Noodler's inks I've tried!
Such BEAUTIFUL pens, Karyna!!! Enjoyed watching and seeing the interesting inks, too! I hope things arr greening up in Calgary 🍃🌿💚 Happy May days to you and to your viewers ☺️✨
your pens are extremely beautiful. The Esties, (I am trying hard not to add them to my wish list of 5 Esties! ) the Zodiac abalone & the Radius Settimo are special eye candy 💚💚
Cactus Fruit Eel is one of my favorites. The eels from my understanding are lubricated. I havent tried Vanness' white lightning, but I'm assuming it's like you added some of that in those colors. I love quite a few Noodler's inks. I'm glad you're giving this color a chance!
Love the colors and pens you chose. I am interested to hear how you like the noodlers ink. I haven't been a fan of noodlers or 3 oysters due to their drying time. The Old man and the sea is stunning. I have Alt-Goldgrun but haven't inked it up yet. I may have to do that next month. I also have been thinking of getting a nib ground to a needlepoint. It looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Priscilla! I have not always been a fan of Noodlers but I'll give it a chance! I do highly recommend the Needlepoint if you like that toothy feel!
Hi Karyna. Another great video. It’s exciting to hear you are warming up to the Noodlers Cactus Fruit Eel. I like how vibrant the Eel series inks are. How do you like the Esterbrook Petrified Forest versus the honeycomb? The ink combination for the honeycomb couldn’t have been more perfect. I enjoy my Esterbrook pens and I’m in the market for another one. Speaking of pens I did send you an email about a vanishing point. Like you I’ll try to match but I usually just go with whatever I may be in the mood to use. I have really enjoyed R&K inks. The alt-goldgrun was my first experience with the brand. Not my favorite color but I don’t hate it by any means. The architect nib is one of my favorite nibs. Your Zodiac Pen Company pen is really sharp. A good pen/ink combination with that one as well. Great advice on trying those inks with a “problem” pen. The Diamine Walnut is one of my favorite browns and is my favorite wood to use. Have a great evening.
Hello Courtney! It's hard to choose between Petrified Forest and Honeycomb - I love them both equally for different reasons! Thank you so much for watching!
Love your Currently Inked videos. I’ve been making a pen and ink wishlist and it is heavily influenced by what I see in your videos! 😉. Have you ever done a video on your transcribing or your zen tangles? I’ve been going through your playlist but I couldn’t find anything. Thanks so much and I look forward to your next video!
Hello, Got my needlepoint Esterbrook Nouveau Blue this week and I have found it is very dependent on writing pressure and paper. Wondering what paper you have found gives you the smoothest writing with the needlepoint. Oddly, I did not get a Kirk Speer Pen Realm card in my box.
I enjoy your knack for description! Describing a nib's writing experience as "Slice-y" (spelling?) is so unique and so intriguing to think about.
I'm not great with adjectives so I hope this is helpful!

Yay! I've had great luck with most shimmers so use it in your EF/F nibs!
Lovely line-up as always! Your collection is just beautiful. TFS!
Thank you so much!
I just really like your videos. I always have a nice time watching them

Thank you! 😊 I do have to admit that Radius Marmo Bianco is lovely so far!

It's amazing how a rainbow palette can affect our moods!

Yes! So far it has been great in the F nib!
Nice colors. I like Walnut and Old Man and the sea most.
Walnut has been lovely to use so far! And yes, Old Man and The Sea is so interesting! Thanks for watching!
All are so pretty!! Glad to see that lovely Abalone back in rotation!! Thank you Karyna!!
That Abalone has pride of place in my collection, Bart!
Another wonderful video. Thank you. Happy May! ❤
Thank you Lisa! 🥰
Such BEAUTIFUL pens, Karyna!!! Enjoyed watching and seeing the interesting inks, too! I hope things arr greening up in Calgary 🍃🌿💚 Happy May days to you and to your viewers ☺️✨
Thank you so much! I'm actually up in Edmonton, three hours North of Calgary. We're nice and green here, thank goodness!
your pens are extremely beautiful. The Esties, (I am trying hard not to add them to my wish list of 5 Esties! ) the Zodiac abalone & the Radius Settimo are special eye candy 💚💚
Thank you! I'm definitely working on curating my collection!

Yes I am remembering the “eel” standing for lubricated inks. So far Cactus Fruit Eel has been fun to use!

I don't normally show those except in my progress reports. The zentangles are ones that are inspired by accounts on Instagram!
been waiting for this one, thanks for sharing
Hope you enjoyed it!

I have found the needlepoint seems to flow best with Clairfontaine
I use Tomoe River Paper and love it! It also depends on the ink! Try a more lubricated ink like Pilot Iroshizuku.
Will do. I love OS nitrogen and that is what I am running in it now. Flows well.
So many lovely pens and beautiful inks! Have been drawn to some grey inks lately so that Radius looks very appealing. 😇🩷🙏🙌
Thank you! I am loving the Radius right now - I am using it daily in my five year journal!
ugh that first pen is gorgeous and also I LOVE that Ferris Wheel Press ink. Too bad it's sold out everywhere haha
Atelier Lusso pen is a looker for sure!
What is the dip pen you use for the samples?
I use a Speedball B Nib found on Amazon (link in the description!).
I'm so glad you like the ink I'm not a fan of brown cause of my previous job but I'm glad you like it
Google does pronunciations
It’s a great resource, thank you!
