Join me while I swatch 17 fountain pen inks from my recent ink hauls. Featured are inks from Collection Traced, Fanyantan, Hosia, Sailor, and Lennon Tool Bar. Swatches are made with a speedball B nib and a glass dip pen (from Firespider Glass on Instagram) on Tomoe River (52 gsm) paper. Inks are also shown on Col-o-ring cards and Wearingeul swatch cards to compare the qualities of the inks on multiple paper types.

You really need your own brick and mortar ink shop! With your knowledge and enthusiasm you could teach classes on this stuff. It’s definitely an education for me as I’m usually nervous to branch out in my inks.

It was nice to meet you at the Pen Show the other day! Love the variety of colors you got, they're all so pretty 💕

What a fantastic lineup! The Hosia inks look very cool - especially Elegant Stone; love the way it looks. I have Hanakanmuri and yeah, it's a bit of a weird one but beautiful when dry! I have it in my TWSBI Eco Pink Lemonade right now and it's so good. I really want to try Sailor Manyo Azuki.
In our family, Halloween is our favorite holiday as well. 💜🖤💜

Never tried any of these inks. Such a beautiful haul! I would love to see how the Lennon Tool Bar Bitter Orange Tea writes in a pen. Thanks for making this video ❤

This Shikiori collection was for Spring :D Hana-kanmuri is literally 'flower crown' 🌸

Is there an ink guru out there that knows what type of ink is alcohol marker and waterproof? What do I look for in multi-media ink? An recommendations are appreciated.

Beautiful inks! I like the Hosia Inks. I don’t know who else has them other than Soe and Soe but you might want to try Dino Writes. I have gotten some nice inks from them. Reasonably priced and fairly quick delivery.

I quite like Elegant Stone. It was a little dry for me in a Monteverde Ritma (fine, I think) but not horribly so. I recently got another Hosia ink, Utopia. It's a bit pinker than it's sibling, very pretty. In case you wanted to know, the S, in Chinese, is pronounced differently than in English. Phonetically, I think it would be written HO-zhuh, the zh being pronounced like a combination of j and sh together (if that makes sense). Thank you for sharing all your inks! ❤
