Either way, both ways, they are equally useful. Keen to see de atramentis/document inks, fwp, etc, as well as colour groups. These colours today were stunning! Thanks Laurie for sharing them 😊
I own Tesla Coil and Cold Steel, love them both so much. Tesla Coil, I call it the Sheen Queen.. sheens in almost every paper, with every nib. Cold Steele is one of the greatest blue blacks, which I am obsessed with.. also Oxford Blue from Diamine. I LOVE the inks by color, but I’d watch inks by brand too.. your choice. Great series.
I really like both kinds of videos. The video I've gone back to the most has been your Iroshizuku one as it's the brand I've felt most drawn to. Your Sailor ones have been great too. I'd love to see Sailor Ink Studios and a Robert Oster ones for example. But I also really like your color ones and I think these are the ones that are kind of like your bread and butter videos that will be most helpful to a lot of people who are choosing between inks when buying. Another type of video that might also be helpful is newly released inks - I could see it being really useful for you to swatch some of the new release inks that have been released in January of 2024 for example (or maybe Q1). So basically - yes I want more and more and more of whatever ink videos you do.
The Taccia Ukiyo-e inks are some of my favorites because of the packaging alone. I would love to see another season of ink explorations but by brand! It would definitely be nice to see what type of variety a brand offers. 🙂
Ah~ I was just looking at those Ukiyoe inks from Taccia ! I'm really loving that Pompadour Pink & Winter Garden Snowflake too! Your vids always make me want to buy more ink!!!😊
I continue to look through your ink exploration videos as I think of colors I am searching for. I appreciate that you describe the colors and ink characteristics that can't be seen visually through digital media. I also tend to use specific brands... so yes. I want both color vids and brand vid. Glad I can help in the decision. LOL (smiling while not being helpful)
Yes to both types of videos but maybe the brand one first. I am currently ordering inks like a crazy person & yesterday it was Van Dieman's turn. I love recognising colours from your vids - doing them by brand would be very helpful. But I love the colour groups. So yeah, both! ❤😂❤⚘⚘thank you SO MUCH!
I love your channel. From the planners, to the ink and pen obsession, to your tarot, and I’ve already ordered twice from your shop lol. I’ve definitely been influenced lol
Hi Danielle! I’m so glad you enjoyed the inks. (Can you tell I like blues, dusty pinks, and sheen?😂) I wrote the full name of each ink that was on the BPC bottle - so I’m not sure why they don’t match the web site🤷♀️. I love listening to your take on these inks. Thanks for letting me share them!
Yes to both questions ! It’s been 2 weeks and can’t wait to get my BPC inks, I ordered: Armadillo, Eroded Bronze, Burlap, Saltmarsh, Ploughman's Pebble, Chrysan Themum, and Molten Tin... I am trying to get my fix my with my current obsession of having a collection of muted colored FP inks... I would love to see the brands together, I vote for Colorverse, because I love my telescopes, astronomy, and yes I love astrology too; so seeing Colorverse inks all together in collections would be so great... There are so many inks to buy and I love the fact that I can see many of them swatched without buying them. I thank you for that. I do love these ink swatching videos! I have watched the entire playlist over and over so many times 🥴that now I am going through your playlist making a list of inks I want to try... I will try to stick to samples from now on... I usually buy full bottles of colors I love... So far, I’ve been lucky with many of my choices... I’ve only wasted my money a couple of times, but it seems I buy the same colors over and over, just a different shade... Since I started watching your videos, (I’m probably one of your first subscribers❣(I watched when you used the undated SICP); I have left my “I’m only going to buy waterproof FP inks” thinking and have tried to choose some FP inks that I love seeing others use. Having you compare the colors in the same color schemes also helps me choose what color I like best and seeing the properties the inks have helps me make better choices for my purchases... I do have one suggestion: All the planners & notebooks I have now are made from TRP (Sansen) now, it may be beneficial to see the inks on the new paper since the old and best TRP is gone.... and we have to suffer with Sansen TRP... I miss the original TRP 😪 I think the inks dry too fast in the new TRP and you don’t see the ink properties as well as you did in the older paper... Keep up the great work, you’re doing awesome! I’ve been watching from the start, I love your channel 💓
Thank you for this wonderful comment!! I'm excited for you to get your BPC inks! I would love to swatch them in the new sanzen paper but I'm trying to finish my current notebook. Once I finish it I will use the new paper for sure!
I'll watch your ink explorations either way you decide to do it because I am OBSESSED with ink colors right now lol - but I think doing it by brand would be kind of cool. Your Sailor Manyo swatches helped me decide which ones I wanted when I had already made a choice to order from that brand. :)
Pompadour Pink may be a reference to Madame de Pompadour. She was in the court of King Louis XV at Versailles. There are paintings of her wearing rich pink ruffled garments. Tesla Coil is my favorite sheening ink, and I’ve never had it smear once it’s dried.
Thank you for the great swatching videos! Your descriptions and thoughts are so helpful! I’ve been able to make some very happy purchases because of you😊. As for your question: may we have both types of videos, please? By brand AND color family? My vote is for brand first since you don’t have as many of those videos.
Hi Danielle, thanks for another lovely video! You give such thorough reviews, I love it. I am from Pennsylvania and just wanted to let you know that Allegheny is pronounced Al-ah-gay-nee. Cheers
The pompadour pink is beautiful!! That is a color I am so drawn to. Ohhh I can make cold steel once my Atominks arrive. Id be interested in seeing a side by side of the Alleghany River Twilight with regular Twilight. They seem to be the same but who knows. What a beautiful set of inks. So wonderful to get happy mail like that. I will love all the ink videos. I'm sorta leaning towards second season but would love to see brands on one page too. (yes I am no help)
Haha thank you Priscilla! I checked and it seems the twilight inks are the same! My guess is there was a collection they came out with and had the smaller name with it. Either way I think they are gorgeous. I appreciate your input! I think the majority would prefer both types of videos 😊.
YES to both please! Your ink swatching videos are the best I have seen! The inks in this video, especially the blue inks, are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Is the color of the Cobalt Blue more purple than blue? Are there any inks that have just the blue and pink base colors of the Tesla coil ink? If so, can you recommend any that come to mind please? Thank you so much! Lisa
Yay, thank you! The Cobalt Blue is more true blue to me, I don't see any purple. I have a video on Bright Blue inks that could compare to the Tesla Coil's base blue if you're interested in more blue inks. I also have a video on Dark Pink inks or even Magenta if you prefer those colors as well :)
@@mydandeliondiaries I have been enjoying all of your swatcing videos! They are a huge help! I am shopping and slowly purchasing what I need and want to begin using a fountain pen for my writing. Lisa
I would also like to see some videos on inks that have been discontinued and have you recommend some possible dupes please! Thank you so much! Lisa@@mydandeliondiaries
The ink stash doesn't stop growing ;) haha Honestly there are SOO many inks out there if I tried them all I would be 100 years old before I made enough swatches.
I have Allegheny River Twilight and it’s that plum/pink/wine color. I have another one called Pop Art Purple. When I got the bottle it said “Andy Warhol” in small lettering. And “Pop Art Purple” in larger letters. So I wonder if “Allegheny River” is a parent name of sorts? No idea, just a guess. I do know it’s a river in Pennsylvania and a lot of things in that area (and western New York) are named after it. I guess we could email the owners and ask, but not sure we would get an answer. I begged them to remake Rodman’s Gunpowder Tea, no such luck. 🤷🏻♀️😅 I am with you on bottles. I’ve bought a few just for the bottle. Am I Crazy?!? I’m getting a bit confused on your color theory, sorry! I was taught that cool blue is a blue that leans to yellow. (Such as a teal). And warm blues lean to red.(example blue/purple) (Red = hottest color). Even though this is so confusing because blue itself is considered cool, Yellow is cooler than Red. So the blue leaning towards red is the warmer blue. It took me a long time for it to make any sense, AND I had to re-type the entire previous sentence because I got myself all messed up... 😍. Fun fun!
Thank you so much!! I'm so sorry to confuse you on color theory. I try to describe based on what I am seeing, so I do trip myself up sometimes haha. If an ink is "warmer" (yellow, orange, red) I usually call it a warmer color. If an ink is "cooler" (green, blue purple) I call it cooler. It gets tough when you're in a primary color! I would say my camera does a fairly good job of showing what the true colors are. Purples are the only color it has trouble with (I find this very interesting).
I need to know how you store your sample because you seem to have a lot. I still only have a few but I might add more samples this year so storage would be a problem eventually lol
I am still really new to the BPC brand, and I haven't tried a dark grey from them yet, but the Abandoned Shipyard, Lunar Dust, and Smokebox all look to be dark grey with shading. I hope to get some more BPC inks soon and I will review them then!
Either way, both ways, they are equally useful. Keen to see de atramentis/document inks, fwp, etc, as well as colour groups. These colours today were stunning! Thanks Laurie for sharing them 😊
Awesome, thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing!! I would agree Tesla Coil is a Sheen Queen!
I like both ideas, but especially by brands!!
A second season of colours would be great 🤩
Yes to both questions! Another season and by brand/colour/whatever! I love watching ink swatching!
Thank you!
I would love to see ink exploration by brand but i also love jumping to your videos when i want to consider buying a specific color for myself
Thank you!!
I really like both kinds of videos.

Cold Steel colour is so cool and interesting 😮
It may be my new favorite blue black ink hahah
Yes to both questions x

I agree about the packaging! So fun! Thank you for voting!
Yes to both please!!!! Because I'm completly hook up with your videos. Don't make me choose, please. ❤
Thank you!! I'm hoping to do both!
Ah~ I was just looking at those Ukiyoe inks from Taccia !
I'm really loving that Pompadour Pink & Winter Garden Snowflake too!
Your vids always make me want to buy more ink!!!😊
Just call me the "inkfluence" on your bank statement haha
@@mydandeliondiaries no joke!!!!
I’d like both. Love these types of videos. Kind of like trying before I buy them myself.
Thank you for voting!
I would love a brand centered ink swatch video.
Hopefully coming soon!

Yay! Thank you!
I love your channel. From the planners, to the ink and pen obsession, to your tarot, and I’ve already ordered twice from your shop lol. I’ve definitely been influenced lol
Also, I love the idea of a page per brand from you.
Thank you so much on so many levels!! 😊❤️️❤️️

Thank you so much Laurie!!! I compared the Twilights and they are the same. I think they have different labels but are the same ink :)

I've been interested in getting Tesla Coil for almost a year and this is tempting me even more to get it.
It is gorgeous!

I have one pen dedicated to Tesla Coil and one to Interstellar Bronze. I use them every day.
Oooooo I bet you're always having a fun time writing!!
@@mydandeliondiaries i sure try!
Allegheny. Pronounce the "G". Allegheny - al (not all) eh gain ee
Thank you!! 😊
@@mydandeliondiaries Any time!
I really like the color comparisons because I really like seeing which brands of certain colors I like best. Make sense?
Yes it makes perfect sense. Thank you!
Would love brand explorations.

Hi Danielle, thanks for another lovely video! You give such thorough reviews, I love it. I am from Pennsylvania and just wanted to let you know that Allegheny is pronounced Al-ah-gay-nee. Cheers

Hehe thank you!! Maybe I will mix in both!
Love these inks! Now I need samples of a bunch of these! Thank you for this video. Awesome as usual!!! Love everything that you do!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!
Second season of colours, pls!

The ink stash was almost done..... but then your BPC swatching came along.....
The ink stash doesn't stop growing ;) haha
Honestly there are SOO many inks out there if I tried them all I would be 100 years old before I made enough swatches.
I love color groups. A lot of inks are not available in my country, so I can choose another color from other company.

Ink explorations by brand
Any suggestions on shading medium to dark gray inks with BPC
I am still really new to the BPC brand, and I haven't tried a dark grey from them yet, but the Abandoned Shipyard, Lunar Dust, and Smokebox all look to be dark grey with shading. I hope to get some more BPC inks soon and I will review them then!
yes, ink exploration is good, but I would prefer brand exploration first, since many of us don't know all of the brand available.
Thank you for your vote! There are a LOT of brands out there but the same can be said for colors :)
I would like both types of video
