NEW PEN DAY! From a new-to-me maker: etturnings
My favorite blue keeps changing. Heh. 'Tono & Lims GN TYPE-E' and 'Iroshizuku Asa-Gao' are still my go-to's, but I also really like 'Visconti Blue' and 'Venvstas Mare Aperto'. And recently, I picked up some 'Van Dieman's Encore Barber of Seville' - so pretty.
HI PURL!! What a cutie you are!
Excellent Bloo. ✒️💙💙🖋
30 Inks Ink Flight Month sounds like a great way to use up some of those Ink Flight samples! Speaking of which ... isn't it about that time? LOL Look at you go with the EF nib, I'm impressed! Same pens for me today - TWSBI Eco Glow Purple EF with Wearingeul from the Earth to the Moon for regular notes. Platinum 3776 F with Herbin Bleu Clananque for highlighted notes, and Sailor PGS Nebula MF with Colorverse Miss Baker for rough notes. The PGS + Miss Baker combo is really impressive. I do find that the PGS gets a bit scrathy when running low on ink. Not sure if that means it neads to be tuned or its just a low ink thing. It writes beautifully otherwise.
How does this yellow compare to FWP Buttered Popcorn? Is it a bit more orange than FWP?
Today I am catching up on 30inks videos. I gasped when I heard that crash. And I was hoping nothing broke. So sorry to hear that gorgeous pen broke. What a bummer!!!
I ordered the new TWSBI in a medium. I can’t wait.
I also got the medium!! it arrives today, I'm super excited!!
TODAYS pen was the Fugulong 902 with a 2.9 mm stub omg its so BIG with Diamine Pumpkin and my favorite basic blue is prolly Pilot Iroshizuku Kon Peki :)
Diamine PUmpkin is SUCH a good ink, and Kon Peki is a classic! :) I think the largest stub nib i've tried is 1.5mm, and holy moly - that was too much for me. I cant wait to see your 2.9 stub work! :)
today i used a HongDian N8 Maple leaf fountain pen with a find nib and the ink was J herbin Rouge d'Orient :) nice red ink with a nice red pen ;)
sounds lovely!!
Oof, may have missed, but this was my first time hearing-other than the crashing sound😢-about your pen casualty! It sounds like you went for the best solution, given the options. ❤️🩹
yeeeah, i'm kinda bummed about it. I might superglue it, we'll see.
This rainbow is nice! Another rainbow would be cool, but so would something from your Sailor Sample Hoard-if you still have lots of them? It seems like a cool, dark, autumnal green-very academic! I love RB pizza! A good Pepperoni or supreme are the best of their options, imo! 🍕✨ I’m using Nagasawa Kobe’s Nyoki-nyoki from their “Onomatope” (like Onomatopoeia) line. It’s supposed be green and cute and fresh like new plant growth-tho this season is starting to see my summer plants get tired!
ohhh i have tons of Sailor Samples! That's part of what prompted the idea for the month. I just have tons of (Sailor) inks. LOL moar sample usage coming. :) The Nyoki Nyoki is such a pretty color! Reminds me of Diamine Meadow a bit!
Green is my favourite colour - this is lovely. Thanks Manda x
you're welcome!! :) thanks for watching!
I am not a lover of yellow, it's better than orange though 😁 I dislike most red inks too (I love some burgundies though & all magentas) I own a handful of yellow/gold inks but tis enough for me! Thank you for the new video x
Sounds like you prefer cooler colors! (me too!) thanks for watching :D
Oooh I love this ink so much! I don’t use it nearly enough. ✒️🥬🖤🖋
Time to put it in a pen!! :D
I love green inks and forgot I have a bottle of Epinard. Thanks for the reminder. Time to pull it out because it’s a great ink.
You are so welcome!! Enjoy using it :D
I’m sorry your pen broke! I’ve tried to like yellow inks, but so far I haven’t found one I enjoy writing with. I do like the color yellow though - mostly in flowers - not in clothes on me or ink. 😂
✒️💛🤍🖋
On my screen, Jentle Epinard looks a lot like Sailor Shikiori Tokiwamatsu. Maybe a touch darker - ? Pretty.
I was looking around, and i think Tokiwa-matsu is generally accepted as the current closest thing to epinard! so kinda makes sense a little bit. great ink, both of them!
That’s a great yellow! Robert Oster Honey Bee is my favorite, but it has some golden brown shading.
I'm not sure if I've tried that one yet! I'll have to see if i have it. :D thanks for watching!
Thanks to Pearl for a special cameo! Adorbs 🥰 I have one bottle of this ink and I was so upset when it was discontinued. It’s awesome. When I found out that Iroshizuku Tsustujii was discontinued this week I just bought 2 bottles. Why do they do that to us?? 😢Looking forward to a Sailor Manyo Yomogi or a Sailor Souten this month. Xoxoxo❤💜💙💚❥ You’re the best!!!
As a child I discovered yellow and white are not meant for use on paper from my crayons.
Not my ignorant ass having this ink of my wishlist not knowing it was discontinued 😭 I love the rusty sheen. Epinard does mean spinach (in french at least)
LOL it's so sad. :( I *think* the current closest offering is Sailor Shikiori Tokiwa-matsu..it might have a touch more yellow and a little bit more sheen, but I think that was what it was sort of replaced with.
Wow is that ever golden yellow! There’s also that brown yellow that you recommended to me at one point … think it was a Taccia? Need to find the extra sample that I ordered. It was a nice muted colour. Though more brown than yellow. Sorry that your pen broke. Battle scars of a 30 inks month. This was a pretty week!
That Himeyuri from yesterday is still calling out to me. I like punchy oranges or peachy oranges. Thus I only own KWZ Grapefruit and Sailor Apricot. I think there's room for that Himeyuri though. However, I can't ever see myself owning yellow inks! (Famous last words)
Yes! Purl and orange, 2 of my favorite things! ✒️🧡🌈🖋
HI PURL!! (Don't let Purl know she could join an exclusive club with Kitty Purry if she gets ink on her beans!)
I love this one, too! I've got it in a TWSBI Heat (B), and as you say, it is "chef's kiss." Hey, do you have any of your Ink Studio 770 left? That's a yellow/yellow-adjacent color, eh? 🍊🍊🍊🧡🧡🧡🧡
Oh Lordy, that is beyond a doubt the most BEAUTIFUL pen I have ever seen!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I love it when you break it out. I am so happy you are doing all Sailor Inks this month: thank you for showcasing them. This 930 really reminds me of Dominant Industry x Wonder Pens Ginger Chicken. I keep my broad-nibbed BENU Hanukkah inked with Ginger Chicken, and that is a lovely firehose writing experience if there ever was one. The 930 is a bit redder I think than the Studio 973 that I've been using lately and a bit browner maybe than Diamine Terracotta, which is permanently in an Opus 88 pink/white thing. If I remember correctly, you have all the Ink Studios, so you would have a better idea of how the 930 and 973 compare. I guess I need this one. This color is right up my wheelhouse (along with almost any green, especially the pondscum slime ones, or browns). If I had a dime for every one of the red-brown inks I have, I'd be rich. Or if I'd stop buying them, maybe I'd be rich. Sh!t, if I could just stop buying any of this stuff, I'd be rich. Gah!!! Thank goodness I think I am retiring at the end of this year, so I am going to tamp down on this whole mishigas now.
It looks like a great orange. Other oranges I like are Taccia Kioame and the Pilot Iroshizuku oranges. (Aren't there some oranges in 50 states?) Thank you..
US Florida is one of my favorite orange inks.
Yeah! There are a couple oranges in the 50 states. Florida is awesome!
Need to jump on the boat now-I’m already late! This is my fav purple and it’s No1, I mean.. day1 😂🎉
HI PURL!
I told her you said hi, and she meowed!
Oh that looked like a nice, wet writing experience.
Absolutely lovely!
Todays pen was the ADMOK M400 in Aurora Green I love this pen its so beautiful and a fraction of a pelikan and I changed the #% nib for a 5.5 fpr ultra flex nib its amazing I love it so much I wish I could afford one in every color :) and todays ink is from the Green Diamine Inkvent calendar Best Wishes :)
I have that red studio, too. I love it!!
I can’t wait to ink it up!!
Nice combination with that pen!!
Thank you!!
"Do you have the ink-picking blues" lol. This one isn't a colour for me, but I do love how the shimmer sparkles! Currently using Colorverse Miss Able in PGS Nebula <MF> for rough notes, Herbin Blue Calanque in 3776 (Blue with Rhodium trim) <F> for highlight titles, and TWSBI Eco Glow Purple <EF??> (<--- I don't know, the sticker got thrown out and can't find the order, but it looks like EF, lol!) with Wearingeul "From the Earth to the Moon" for regular notes.
Love me some Brooks resins but I’ve never got a pen from him. It’s def on the wishlist! Beautiful! ✒️❤️🔥❤️🖋
I have three Carolina Pen Co. pens. Beautiful resins. One has a BB nib ground down to an Architect by Matthew Chen. A bit wide but really nice for some uses.
💜
We grilled/cooked out with roomies; somehow, my hot dog was super-delicious…I wish I had one right now!
Amazing!! sounds like an awesome time!!
✒️🖤❤️🖋
Awww Purl! 😻 The pen (is) awesome! Great choice for ink too. California has it going on today. 🔥✒️💙🖤🖋
I've always got to thumbs up California. 😂
Both Wai and I say hi to Purl. ♥️
So glad that you have a Maria!
so am I! <3
You are so sweet! You just attract goodness to you. 🥰 You could name the panda Handa. 😂😂

Thanks! Nice pens.
Gib kitty 😻 Bless the sneeze_paper
