Love your format! I always look forward to how you bring them all together with a theme. The BPC Magnolia Mirage - oh my! The purple haloing is what dreams are made of!

[LivelyLaura]

I love that you name your monthly color palette. Blooms and Brews is perfect!

[AMusset]

Cocoa Shimmer looks like a winner! Added to my wishlist! I recently got a Monteverde Regatta with the omniflex nib and it requires a bit of pressure to write and had bad flow. I got a Monteverde replacement nib in broad and I'm really happy with it!

❤❤❤❤ Cocoa shimmer is definitely my favorite! ❤❤❤❤

[AlongfortheThrill]

Appreciate your honesty as always!! What a fantastic spread of inks. I absolutely hate pink, only have one in my entire collection (RO Rose Gold Antiqua) but that one is tempting.🤔

[pocketwish]

diamine cocoa shimmer is instantly on my wishlist!! lovely selection of pens and inks and a very clever theme to tie them all together (a storm is BREWING! brilliant!) <3

[MamaTomasu]

Cocoa shimmer is for sure the perfect match for your Benu Earl Grey pen! I, too, don’t go out of my way to only match inks and pens…but it is, undoubtably, sooo satisfying when you do happen to have the perfect match. ❤

I also didn’t like the carousel pen..I gave mine away…

[CraftyKrystal]

I've had a similar experience with the FWP pens, cracking plastic! :( I LOVE the Sea Glass pen, been thinking of getting one.

I hear flex nibs need to hit the paper differently, it's hard to articulate it, it was in the discord penposium a few weeks ago I think. Something about matching parallel to the writing line. The end detail is the... tines? of flex must touch simultaneously and evenly, the way most fountain pens work you technically sort of lean harder on one. Maybe try pretending it's a stub nib and see if it's better for you. I prefer the omniflex nibs and my stub nib writing is slightly opposite most people's for the same reason: I have an approximate 30° bone curvature difference in my wrists. Omniflex and freakin' EF shark pens work GREAT for me. I would love to go to a pen show one day and be able to try because at my budget/trouble-odds I can't invest above omniflex $ range in anything I haven't tried out. I suspect it's the shark's hooded EF nibs handling my angle better and so I want to try a vanishing point!

blooms and brews is SUCH a cute name for the theme and it's really similar to the theme I went with for May, too (I'm just missing the orange hahah)! Cocoa shimmer could even be like...a black tea with honey in it :D

[EricaNicole]

BPC Kyanite is absolutely beautiful! If you haven’t thrived that yet. Going to have to go get that magnolia Mirage now- oh shucks lol

[SandandInk]

I just discovered cocoa shimmer - I got it as a sample from goulet pens - really didn’t like it when I swatched it - thought it was a weird reddish brown - but I liked the name 😜 so decided to put it in my Lamy cream color medium nib pen and it is so wonderful for writing and has such a beautiful metallic sheen to it after it dries
So… lesson learned - swatches of an ink are really not representative of how an ink will perform and appear when used in a pen

[JessicaCEP]

I had two jinhaos, but they both just disintegrated into their component parts…I have all the purple twsbi pens… I love the inks you showed here!

[MimiCozyGamer]

Just found and subbed to the channel ❤ what pen tray/ case is that ? Esterbrook ? Lovely pens and inks

[krys]

Any chance you can show us BPC Magnolia Mirage beside Wearingeul's Jane Eyre? Mostly because that's a coordinating color I think you've said you have/like. Usually I use the compare feature but BPC is it's own site and I'm especially interested in MM after seeing you swatch it a few times.

[vicc]

When the ink matches the body of the pen... uhhg fantastic

[jessicaburris]

Pink isn’t usually my ink of choice but that Magnolia Mirage is BEAUTIFUL
💕🥰💕
