Transcript

Here are all the pens I have inked up for the month of August. This little lady got quite a bit of attention last week. Also, I will die with a hair tie on my wrist. This is my Pilot Kakuno, which is my favorite fountain pen, and I put some red ink in it. And that's all. This is a beautiful red ink though. Wow, absolutely obsessed with it. Anyway, these first three pens are new pen and ink combinations this month. The rest, I'm keeping the same. I kind of discussed it in last month's video, but I don't switch them out every single month. However, I do make a new tracker page every month. I've had a Sailor Pro Gear Slim this entire time. And this ink is one of my favorite inks, but it is on the lighter side for everyday writing. I still love it though. Troublemaker Moon River ink is still flowing very smoothly in my Kaweco Sport. I'm grateful for that. I mean, no complaints here, so we're just going to keep on keeping on. I think my favorite pen and ink combination for this summer is this Esterbrook Estie in seaglass with Tom's Studio Sunny Teal. I needed to check on the status of this frosted lime Kaweco Sport as well as my vanishing point. I knew my vanishing point was probably ready for a refill, so I almost always, 97% of the time, I refill it with Pilot Iroshizuku Take-Sumi. This is for the commoner who said that I have to be careful filling my ink with a syringe. It's a broad blunt tip, don't worry about me, please. Concern. Filling your pens with a syringe is really fun. I feel like I'm at a lab. Highly recommend. Yeah, girl, get it out. Just, anything you need. Okay, so I love this combination as well. I noticed it was getting just the littlest bit skippity-do-da over the past week and so I ran it under water for like a second. Now it's flowing smoothly. Sometimes that's all you need, no big deal. Also, just my my Clairey. Okay, next up, we have a most beautiful ink. Hope pink. We love her. I don't have quite left to refill my piston filling is, I have enough for swatching and playing around, maybe even like doing some like watercolor type painting with it. Very excited. Bri for giving me a little I might just buy myself a full bottle. That have been filled up for a long time. This TWSBI Eco in Cerulean has been filled with Kingfisher for, I am not kidding you, one calendar year. So if you need some inspiration or a recommendation for a pen that can just hold a lot of ink for a long time. I've got your combo. Okay, thank you so much in advance for your sweet comments. I love you all. See you soon. Bye!
