Wow

Wow, so many of you love my last ink swatch video. If you don't know, I love to share my love for fountain pens, journaling, and all things stationery. I also post formula one race weekends spread throughout my Hobonichi where I come by my love for journaling and my passion for glass cars. If you haven't seen my last ink swatch video yet, definitely go check it out after this one. Today's ink is another sample that my friend sent me. This is number two out of the 22 that she sent me. Slowly but surely, the ink we're adding to the dossier today is Daddy Long Legs by Wearingeul, one of the things I love most about Wearingeul is that every ink in their line is inspired by a single bottle color rather than illuminating a scene literally. The book behind it's named for Jean Webb's 1912 epistolary novel, told through the letters of an orphan, "Daddy-Long-Legs" after she glimpses only his, uh, thin shadow. The color story's the pastel pink base with the gold shimmers, meant to represent the two central characters and the quiet warmth of Judy's letters, understated rather than bold, matching the novel's gentle, coming-of-age tone. She is a gorgeous off and dusky baby pink, cooler-toned than most pinks on the market. She is elegant, quiet that reads sophisticated rather than sweet. I honestly thought this ink was going to be more of a burgundy ink. Once it touched the paper, it transformed into this beautiful muted pink with the prettiest gold shimmer. Looking at the sample vial, it actually reminded me of the 12 nights by, um, Wearingeul, but 12 nights has a more icy blue shimmer, while this one has a more warm gold shimmer that gives it a softer, cozier feel. This would almost be a perfect match for the Bongo box, uh, flower fountain pen. I still haven't been able to get my hands on that pen yet, or even the Twisty B eco pink lemonade that's coming out August 3rd on Adstationer. With the bronze color nib and trim. Honestly, I think this ink would look gorgeous in any pen. That's kind of the whole point of this ink dossier, giving every fountain pen ink its own page instead of a quick swatch that gets buried and forgotten. It's turning into this little storybook of my collection, one that I can actually flip through when I need a perfect color for a spread or a letter. That's ink number 22 from Mary Ann. Thanks for watching and see you in the next one. Bye.
