In this video, I show and talk about how my fountain pens and inks for June have been working out! We look in my ink journal [old stock Bond Travel Gear 68 gsm white Tomoe River Paper] and I talk about the ups and downs so far with these pen and ink combinations. The topic for discussion today (in the library) is mainly notebooks and my choosing a notebook for my Pen Hobby Journey Documentary Journal ---- I had a lot of fun choosing the notebook and VERY SPECIAL THANKS go out to pen friend MS who sent the Bindewerk A5 Purist Black Notebook (lined) that I chose for this project. The paper is really fountain pen friendly. I've numbered the pages, created an index and started some collections in it ... as soon as I'm ready to I'll share the set up and my plans for the notebook!!!!
Here is a list of pens, inks and notebooks discussed:
1. Benu Euphoria Pink Champagne (Goldspot Exclusive) B wtih J Herbin 1670 Fuchsia de Magellan - both the pen and ink were purchased with You Tube channel ad revenue! (NOTE: 3rd fill with this pen I chose Diplomat Orchid and soon will try another pink: Krishna Winter because I'm about to finish fill #3.)
2. Narwhal Original Plus (Vac filler) Gold Ocellatus B with Sailor Jentle Granade (pen from pen friend AW and ink from pen friend TC).
3. TWSBI Vac 700 R Iris B with TWSBI Royal Purple (pen from pen friend MB).
4. Moonman Q1 Clear EF with Diamine Oxford Blue (pen from pen friend MS).
5. Schneider Coed Black M with Graf Von Faber Castell Stone Grey
**** REMOVED DUE TO INK CLOGGING: Lamy Al-Star Ocean Blue 1.5 with Pelikan Edelstein Golden Lapis (pen from pen friend MS - ink sample from pen friend CS). * I will follow up about this ink and pen -- it appeared to have a shimmer clog when I went to write with it for this video * (NOTE: this pen clogged up even with a nib swap to a B nib so it was a fail and I will look for another pen to try this ink in.) ****
6. Hinze Custom Blue Storm B with Pure Pens Coronation Blue (I won the pen from Larry's Fountain Pens giveaway years ago - ink sample from pen friend MH).
7. Jinhao 159 Rose Gold + Silver B Knox nib (nib from pen friend CS).
ADDED TO THE LINE UP SINCE LAST WE SPOKE:
8. TWSBI Rose Gold and Black Eco M with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Brown
9. Jinhao 82 clear with glitter and gold trim OBB Knox nib and Diamine Meadow
10. Jinhao 82 pink and white with #5 fude nib and Diamine Claret
Also mentioned: TWSBI Eco M Cement Grey with Graf Von Faber Castell Stone Grey for comparison
NOTEBOOKS:
Bindewerk A5 Purist Black Green Notebook lined 90 gsm paper (found they are carried at thepleasureofwriting.com (gift from pen friend MS)
Official Bullet Journal in green dot grid A5 120 gsm paper (my next bullet journal I start July 1st)
GoodINKPRESSIONS 68 gsm notebook (purchased at local Barnes & Noble)
Hobinichi cover from Galen Leather in Brown (zip closure) and I talked about the Office Depot reporter notebooks (not good with all fountain pens but if you test and pick and choose they can work ... or you can use ball point or certain gel pens)
