“At first blush”. Haha! Get it? Pink ink? Blush? Hana Ikada is lovely warm peachy pink. I like the idea of a splatitude journal. See you tomorrow!
Hana Ikada seems a bit more neon to me? This is such a pretty colour. I'm sad because I love Van Dieman's inks, but some leave a horrible red stain behind - in pens, converters, and especially white surfaces that clumsy people hapen to spill them on ;) Even the green and blue/purple inks leave the same stain since the refresh. Hope you're having a great day!
Yeah Hana Ikada seems like a more pure hue, with this one being almost a tone. 🩷
I'm struggling to remember what color cherry blossoms are...which is crazy...as I grew up tending to a pair of cherry trees and always thought there were few trees that were prettier when covered in flowers than cherries. (apples second) Looking at photos online, I think this is spot-on for cherry blossoms in color...but online photos...colors...always hard to judge. I love the square-grid notebook you use as it gives an idea of how much, I guess "coverage" would be the term for paint, not sure what it is for ink, it would have. Hey Maria, you're doing great! 🥰🥰🥰
I think the color of cherry blossoms depends on the variety! I know the ones near my mom's are more white than this. 🥰
@@MariaRosseau That was my first thought - I remembered them being more white...but then was like...if they were more white...how is this cherry blossom? INTERESTING. The intrigue of ink colors continues. 🥰
This is a very pretty pink. Definitely a pink.
Yeah not one of those fake pinks that's actually orange or red or purple. 😅🥰
Ps you’re awesome!
So are you! 🥰
Another flower ink…literally this time. So delicate. Also Flonase is my friend…fall allergies in the south east are brutal.
Flonase is my friend too!!! That plus the generic zyrtec keep mine at bay most of the time. Side question - did our excel-Jedi-master pen friend finalize her Cult Pens order contribution? Just askin'... Meant to ask earlier, been fighting with the work craptop trying to back stuff up... ugh...
Yes this really is so delicate. Great description! 🥰
@@kd5byb yup…if anything I might add one more :o so by all means don’t let me!
hey what's up. The VanDieman's Cherry Blosson does look like the Hana Ikada, but I'm seeing it as a touch darker. Did they dry the same shade? 💜
They are pretty similar! To my eye, the Van Dieman's is a tiny bit cooler, more dusty. And yes, just slightly darker as a result. Especially on the cream paper. 🩷🥰
bless u, twinsie. this pink is lovely! it does look close to hana-ikada. it's nice to get to compare them on the same page! it looks like a nice soft pink though
Yeah! It's similar! And I do love seeing them all together. 🩷🥰
Some days the writing just screams and yells and explodes cherry blossoms. 🌸 Those are the days I feel the need for a rage room. 🤘🏼😹🧡🖋
Hahaha what would the perfect rage room have? I think mine would have some way of me smashing glassware. 🤣🤣
Hang in there Maria ….perfectionism is not as interesting as what you do❣🙏🙏🙏
AGREED!!! Perfection is boring.
Well now that's one of the kindest sentiment ever. 🥰 Thank you so much. 🩷
Thanks Maria!!! :)
Thank you! 🥰
BLUE yummy yummy
Yeah some really gorgeous blues! 🥰🥰
I'm surprised at how legible this is!
Agreed! It was a welcome surprise. I think I'd still need a good light source nearby, but that's becoming more and more necessary. 😅🤣🥰
Very lovely warm pink! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋
Definitely. 🩷🥰
Looked and thumbnail and thought to myself. I thought she was doing pinks
🤣🤣🤣 I thought so too.
Chaos 😁
More chaotic than usual, I think.
I just love the bonus dog content.
She's such a sweet girl. 🥰 Glad you're enjoying it. 🩷
Yes! Hana ikada has a peach haze to me, which is why i thought i wouldnt like it 🤷 glad you were able to work out something to hold your phone!
It really is nice! I like the peachy aspect. 🥰
Pen bestie and I talk all the time about the fountain pen writing experience being a combination of the pen, the ink, and the paper. Modify any of those three and the experience changes. Changing out the Col-o-Ring because the paper is annoying then means you can't compare your old Col-o-Ring's with whatever you replace them with as the paper changed. So I get sticking with it - I'd do the same - stick with it but for sure, complain about it. Hey Maria, you're doing great!
But then again, I don't think you really did all that much complaining about it. It was more like a PSA. 🥰
At least for the bottles I own I will also have the Wearingeul cards. But it does make me wish I had been doing similar things on Tomoe River or something. 🤔🥰
Oh I complain, if only in my head. 🤣🤣🤣
I “hope” 😊 that you have a good rest of your day. This one was light but yes warm. Pretty like a flower
🥰
Reminds me of a rose bush we had up north growing up - very pretty like a flower is spot on!
@@kd5byb 💐
@@SAM-ko5bj 🥰🥰🥰
It is like a flower. 🩷🥰
See to me this looks coral, not pink. And a little light for me but a very pretty colour indeed. I'm so glad you could fix your hilder >.<
It's definitely pink and not coral. Not warm enough for that. Could be the way the camera is showing it or whatever device you're viewing it on that's making it look different. (I viewed some swatches of "coral" online, which is what I'm basing my definition of "coral" on.) 😅🥰
@@MariaRosseau For sure - camera and monitor calibration / brightness settings really impact how things look!
I have the same issue with the Col-o-ring paper. And I LOVE the idea of a splat-atude journal!
So glad I'm not alone on the paper thing! 😅
Hanna Ikada is definitely a nice warm pink and when layd down enough it can almost have an orangey undertone sheen :)
It's really quite lovely! 😍
Well well a decent Pink ink again.. It did look peachy when put next to the other inks. I'm glad you found twine for your phone holder. I lost sight in my right eye during the freak accident and they had to operate. Now I have a bionic eye (Dating myself). I can see the Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules in the Ethylene Glycol they put in the ink. I guess it all worked out huh? 💜
Wow! Intense. And yes, another pink that's actually pink. 😅🩷
❤
🥰🥰
Oh THANKS❣Maria….you made my day💜
Aww, thank you for the kind words. 🥰🥰
I thought you'd spiied the ink! Its just a holder :) You still got it done! This is a nice color. I've necer seen this brand before
It's a Japanese brand and a bit spendy. I got this one from Vanness. I really love ordering from them, and it was great to meet them at the SF Pen Show. They're so nice in person. 🥰
Wow! The phone falling gave me a scare! You made a quick and smooth recovery and even did a one handed splat! Needless to say, Kobe Suma Rikyu Rose is lovely. This is one of my favorite pink colors. See you tomorrow (and looking forward to no surprises)!
Apologies for the surprise! It was a shock to me, too. 😅
Yes …I would have started over because I just can’t take it BUT I admire your strength to push through it. The pretty color reminds me a lot of Yama Budo…love it!
I'll have to make sure to include Yama-budo in my end is month comparisons. 🥰
@@MariaRosseau we did compare at work today…Yama Budo was a shade darker than the Lamy beryl and shaded where beryl does not…. Think I won that one
@@SAM-ko5bj I haven't used Beryl but it's always looked nice. 😍
Maria, you're doing great
No you! 🥰
HAHAHAHAH (Camera falling)
Mouth open
I like the use of "we" - it's like we're there, participating in the process. Normally, I would have tossed the misspelled card and started over, but lately, I'm giving myself permission to make mistakes. We're human, it happens, don't hate your imperfections, IMHO it makes us human. This color is growing on me - when you were writing and it was thick and dark, it looked like Lamy "Beryl" to me which is a favorite. (and a sample I got randomly where I was like "oh heck yeah" and bought the full-sized jar) Flying phone didn't scare me, I'd read ahead in the comments and knew it was coming. :) Hey Maria, you're doing great! 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for the kind words! 🥰 I can't wait to do the end of the month comparison of pinks. It feels like maybe I don't have anything quite like this one.
Lamy Beryl …Yama Budo…same 😂
@@SAM-ko5bj We must test this theory! I propose a Yama Budo / Lamy Beryl ink test! To occur tomorrow! At high noon! Around the snack bowl! 🤣
@@kd5byb done…already inked up. And I got new candy today at the grocery. See ya
@@SAM-ko5bj NICE!!! New candy! YUMM!!! I've got the Jinhao 100 Centennial with Beryl on hot stand-by! LET'S DO THIS!!!
What a nice pink! And the name and timing is interesting - wife's middle name is Hope, and we had to put down our oldest cat yesterday (aggressive metastatic cancer) who was like a second child to her and a close pal to the rest of us here. I showed her this color and she loves it. I like to think that this ink coming up, the name, her loving it, and the passing of dear kitty are all related? To have hope? Or maybe I'm just reaching...but it's on the buy list. Yesterday was tough, we're better today. I'm a big fan of ink samples! I have several full-size bottles of ink that I regret buying...that I wouldn't have bought had I sampled them first...and I've got a mess of samples where I was like "oh heck yeah" and bought the big-honkin' bottle after. I'm not a fan of pink at the moment, but 30 days ago I wasn't a fan of stub nibs and now I am, so maybe I'll start to like pink? I'll watch all 30 and report back. Someone, maybe one of your commenters, has mentioned fountain pens and inks as a journey of self-exploration...sure has been for me. 🙂 Hey Maria, you're doing great! 🥰🥰
I'm so sorry for your loss. ♥️ This ink does seem appropriate for y'all just now. 🥰 I do think that sometimes the universe conspires to give us what we need in unusual ways, at least once in awhile.
@@MariaRosseau Thank you Maria - much appreciated. I agree - sometimes - we get what we need in unusual ways... 🥰
I keep forgetting to ask where you get the page templates from that go behind your white paper? I should really get a graph one. Also, how do you make your straight lines so neet in your blank journal? I swear I am unable to make straight lines, even with a rule - they always wind up being diagonal and I always write too hard, so they wind up being very dark. Wish I could be so neat! That being said - I just start over if I'm not happy with a mistake and it's going to bug me. Some I can live with, others not so much, lol!
The page template came with a notebook. Maybe a Nebula Note? I'm not positive about that. As for the straight lines... I go incredibly over the top and use one of my quilting rulers, because it's almost the perfect size for this. That way I can abut one side to the spine and use the marks along the bottom of the page to align that side. Also... cutting fabric for quilting had definitely ensured in better with straight lines. 😅🤣
Have you had the classic Pink Squirrel cocktail? Goes with the theme. 😊 Very tasty.
I have NOT had that one! It looks interesting, but I don't have the spirits or the cream to make it. Maybe I'll be able to get one at a bar or something one day. 😅🥰
Wow, the phone (almost said "pen" instead of phone) falling thing. Sorry that happened. Its an excuse to go looking for new tech though, right? 😉🤣 Love this pink - still prefer Colorverse. I inked "Miss Baker" in my Sailor PGS Nebula <MF> and love it. Hope you have a good rest of your day - and maybe get to go tech shopping.
It was such a moment that phone falling. 🤣🤣🤣
Omg the phone falling scared me cuz I was listening in the background. 😂 Well done on the splat. It kinda looked like a butterfly for a bit. 🦋 the ink is pretty but mire magenta than true pink. Still pinker than that orange you have. 😂😂😂
Haha yes, definitely closer to pink than other "pinks". 😅🥰
Whoa! Your one handed splat 🦠 technique was great! I love this color and it’s going on the wishlist. Great job rolling with the jumping phone. You are a rockstar. 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋
Haha thanks for the kind words. 🥰 I definitely didn't feel like a rockstar at the time. 🤣🤣🤘
oh no! doing splats one handed looks so frustrating, but i'm glad you're laughing :D
I'm usually pretty good at laughing in situations like this. 🥰 It's when I'm angry that I cry. 🤣🤣🤣
Oh my. A new phone mount probably wasn't on the agenda for today... 😬 🧘🏻♀️ deeeeep breath 🧘🏻♀️ Lovely color. ❤
Hahaha it's ok, I have kitchen twine. 🤣🤣🤣
@@MariaRosseau 😅
9:40 - No I'm not ok. I got ink in my eye. 😬 Well at least this does look like Rose. Good job KOBE. 💜
🫣🤭
It does look like a rose! I had pictured a lighter color based on swatches, but this one is lovely. 🥰
I embrace imperfection, 100%! 😂
Yes! It's all we can do, sometimes. 🥰
Hi Maria, 30 Pinks is a perfect months for me 🎉 Now look at me- I’m at video 2 with watching and you already filmed No4 😄 Oh Diamine has a serious naming problem when it comes to pinks.. We should help them!
I hope you enjoy this month of videos, no matter when you watch them. 🥰 I was talking with Manda about ink names recently. There are so many that are just lies, from multiple brands! 🤣
@@MariaRosseau totally! Oh! Another video idea- you (you and Manda) can show us all the „weird“ color names , that would be a fun one! 🎉😇
@@MrsAlchemist Hah! I'll suggest that to her! 🤣🤣
@@MariaRosseau pleeeeeeease 😂😇
Samples for me are a fun way to try a color without the commitment of a bottle. About half of my bottles I got a sample of first. The other half is BPC. 😹 This pink definitely makes me hopeful… of finding the right pink so I don’t have to keep searching! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋
I wonder if BPC would sell more or less ink if they did samples. 🤔😅 I think they're mostly trial runs for me. It's interesting how the comments about this have really made me think. 🥰
I have a ton of ink samples when i first discovered fountain pens and Journalling. Those were mainly packs like Goulette must have waterproof inks. Drews Favorites, Brians favorites etc. For me it was a process of self discovery. I kind of have my inks i like but still try to expand. Some after i try a while i really love but never thought i would untill i trued. Now i force myself to use a sample till it is completely gone to form a solid opinion on it. Maybe a week or two. But i have maybe 6 inks i revert back to for a while. If i do connect with a sample i buy a bottle. Some i have seen you do in your 30 days make me go hmm will i like that its cool. So i get a sample. But there have been some you have done that just dont exist anymore too and sad i cant find. BTW i am assuming you do the Diamine advent this year but you seen Colorverse is doing one for the first time too. Hint hint. Kind of like to see you donthat too. Come on its xmas 🎄
I think I might do the Colorverse one and not the Diamine one! I'm excited for it. Which of the old inks can you not find? Maybe I'll still have a sample. Also I started out with sample packs like that too. It's also a good way of seeing how well calibrated a specific store's ink colors are for you.
@@MariaRosseau Nice I look forward to the Colorverse one, they have some interesting inks. As far as the ink I honestly don't remember anymore, it was quite a while ago, and you have done quite a few inks, all I remember was it was by some obscure ink maker in the US, that you could only buy through their site and like one store. Maybe something by Birmingham Pen Company. Or someone like them that does some different small batches. It wasn't Mathew (Wet Pen) inks I got all his latest ones. Chou Kuro was one that was really hard to find, but I found it. I had just bought a new bottle of Carbon Black which is one of my go to when I want black waterproof ink. That whole video made me chuckle "It's So Black" so I had to go find out for myself and Yep it's so black.
@@GuitarJeff It's SO black! And yeah it probably was something by BPC since they don't have some of their older inks anymore. Which is a shame, because I love California Raisin so much.
Sample are to test inks for future bottle purchases and to try inks I’m curious about. I have a subscription to Ink Flight which helps me try inks I might not otherwise choose. Love Hope Pink - so pretty and vibrant! 💖. See you tomorrow!
I really enjoyed Ink Flight for awhile! I found I was rarely using the non-ink items, though, so I had to cancel. 😅🥰
I have SO much hope right meow
Is your hope pink? 🤣🤣🤣
Diamine redeems itself with an actual pink-pink! I use samples for both. I've only been into fountain pens a couple years and is nice to use samples as a way to try new brands or look at colors I am less sure of before I consider a full bottle. I have bought a couple of bottles without getting a sample first. It wasn't the worst decision I have ever made but reinforced the buy a sample first philosophy. 😂
I've had a few bottles I've regretted, but I'm theory I'm going to sell them or give them away. 😅🤣
Woo hoo Hope pink….!!!! Knew it :)
I don’t have it yet but maybe….i do have Claret from them though. I have a few pinks…as my work bestie said it’s my favorite. My pink tools rarely got borrowed by the guys 😂
🩷🩷🩷
@@MariaRosseau it’s beautiful…hope is my favorite
Samples are also both for me. I like samples to test new-to-me inks, but I also get them in place of bottles (in most cases). I've purchased bottles and been surprised that I didn't like the bottle as much as the sample. Vanness and Goulet must wonder what I need four samples of one colour for, lol. The only bottles I purchase now are inks that I'm afraid I'll run out of and will take a long time to get. I DO occassionally by small bottles (such as Sailor, Colorverse, or Wearingeul) since they are about the same size as four or five samples anyway. Hope you're having a great day as well!
I buy the 30mL Diamine because they are basically the same price as a sample. But I think I prefer bottles? I don't know. Maybe I just change my mind on this too frequently. 😅
