Opening up the laptop to cast another vote for the cloud swatches for two reasons: 1) they conserve ink and paper, and 2) they are a better representation of the ink color than the big pools of ink from the cups. Love your videos! Thanks for doing them for us. All the best, Donna
I just got to the section where you're talking about the Every Rose Has Its Thorn pen. I have so many thoughts!
I love that pen so so so much. It is also one of my favorites, and I have also named mine (albeit not very excitingly). I always name my pens though, because I don't like writing the full pen model when I'm journaling, so they all get individual names. It is important to me that it is "the first word/concept/song" that comes to mind when I first hold it. This one is named "Every Rose" but I already had that in my mind since I love the song it is named after. Honestly, if you've never heard the song, give it a listen! It might help with naming inspo.
Also, all my rose gold pens have that type of name, like my white RG twsbi eco is "White Rose" and my white RG mini is "Chibi Rose" 😅 my brain makes associations in obvious ways, but honestly I advocate for naming our pens! It's very fun.
I love it! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Every Rose is a beautiful name, love that you name every one of your pens.
I enjoy all of your ink swatch methods. Do whatever makes you happy - you don’t need our approval!
Agree 💯 ❤ 👍🏼
Yes I love seeing what everyone has inked every month! Great way to discover new inks and see what colours people associate with the different months.
I have a TWSBI mini white and rose gold as well and I’ve only ever had one ink color in it-Oyster Hour! I actually have two bottles of Oyster Hour and both I received by accident. They’re mislabeled as Steeped Umber. When I reached out to get a replacement, I received another mislabeled one! I was SO disappointed because I really love rich brown inks and thought Oyster Hour would be too light. I made the mistake of trying it in my Platinum Procyon which is an incredibly dry writer and lightens up any ink I put in it. But when I tried it in my TWSBI, I fell in love. The shading is beautiful. And the way that it changes as it dries? I suddenly was very happy that I got a full two bottles.
At first I missed the cup swatch, but as your video continued, I decided I quite liked the little clouds. I especially liked that they are “raining”. I think it’s a bit easier to tell what the actual ink color is from this type swatch. I’m extremely busy trying to pick out my favorite color. Golly, they might all be my favorite! Thank for sharing.
I really enjoyed your clouds, they almost look like flowers 🌸 Thank you for sharing Liane and have a wonderful weekend 😊
Thank you! You too!
Love the clouds!! And glad that pen found you :)
Such beautiful inks!!! Thank you ☺️✨
Beautiful palette and loving the clouds.☁️
Always love your color combos!
Wow! This is an amazing collection of inks! I love the clouds- thank you for sharing such wonderful videos!
So excited to know that Push/Pull sells inks in Seattle! Now to restrain myself to inks that that I know I will like and not go overboard 🙈
Thank you for the video! I always enjoy ink swatching videos and yours never disappoints! I’m intrigued by your Terre de Feu experience. I have it in cartridges and it shows up much redder. You’ve inspired me to dig a cartridge out of my stash and try again!
Oh dear...some new additions to the ink wishlist. 😁❤️👍🏼
The ink colors are cute but ... the clouds and rains! Love love it!
Loving the story about your Sailor, thank you for sharing 🥰
Such a lovely color selection! Thank you for sharing, Liane! 🌸
Thank you!
Such a good video, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺☺
Love this color palette. It is a good idea to clean pens when changing inks because not all inks are compatible and mixes can create mini deposits that clog your feed.
what a great collection Liane, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
That color palette is so pretty! You should just call her Rosie!
Omg, I love the clouds. Please don't change anything. I will have to visit Push Pull, it sounds like fun. Not far from me at all. Rachelle in Seattle
Wowww these inks and pens are so gorgeous!! I love them all! And I really enjoy your new format!! So fun!! What a pleasure to get to watch this to start my day 🤗🫶🏻
Thank you so much!
What a lovely collection, Liane! I love the little clouds--so whimsical! And I had no idea the Sailor "Every Rose" came in H-MFs! I've never seen one! That pen in MF was one of my first fountain pen purchases over a year ago and I still write with it at least once a week. A truly reliable pen that is just gorgeous to look at! Thank you for sharing some Seattle stationery stops too!
--Kim
Beautiful inks!! It's fascinating how much a difference the paper makes. Note on pronunciation of the Herbin inks. Terre rhymes with "pear" and feu rhymes with "ugh"; and larmes rhymes with "arm" (French has lots of silent s's!)-hope that's useful!
Thanks for the info!
You are the queen of the circle swatches! but I am always a big supporter of efficiency lol. The glass spoon seems sooo much easier
Great video Liane. I love J Herbin inks as well, lots of them have beautiful shading. Highly recommend Lie de The and vert Gris. I know what you mean about the colours they just have a vintage vibe which is quite fitting for one of the oldest ink manufacturers.
Such great pairings and I'm loving the Kirisame❤ pairing
Thank you! 😄
Thank you for sharing your currently inked!
Of course!
I like both formats...cups or teaspoon. I like the Terre De Feu and Spadina Rose.
Thank you, Brittany!
These colors are so pretty! I love how the Every Rose Sailor pen found you 😀
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely stunning colors... every color Id choose. Beautiful pens. So amazing you found that pen. I like both ways you swatch but it seems so much easier this way. Plus I tend to go for simplicity so I'd say clouds.
Thanks!
Ahhhhh my type of ink colors 😍😍😍
Omg, you are right!! Our March currently inked seriously complement one another!!!
Another Every Rose fan here! I’m not in North America so when it first came out, I just accepted that I’d never have one, plus it was way pricier than any of my PGS had been this far. I got it for myself this year as a Freedom Gift (my divorce from a toxic relationship) and it is hands down my absolute favorite pen ever, the symbolism aside.
Freedom!!! I'm glad you got yourself the pen, it is gorgeous and now has so much meaning for you!
I love this palette. I had Oyster hour on my list before but I added J Herbin Larmes De Cassis and De Artramenis Aubergine after watching you swatch these.
Oh man! After seeing that Every Rose Sailor I think I may have a grail pen after all! That is so gorgeous! Love the new swatches and that colour palette has had an impact on my wish list. I am not buying things online though, so it will be tricksy to get ahold of them.
Hello!!!🤍 Wow. What a stellar line up! Definitely going to have to get another bottle of Larmes de Cassis. Such a beautiful color ! Your new Sailor is gorgeous! I've been keeping my eye on eBay for pre- loved pro gears. I'd really love another one. I hope you're having a lovely March.
Thanks Lorelei! I hope you are enjoying March as well. I'll have to watch your most recent FP collection video again to see what Sailors you have. I think they've become my faves!
@@lianelikes oh I have a 1911 standard with a zoom job and a pro gear x yoseka Refresh with a broad nib ♥️♥️
Wonderful video and a very entertaining watch. I loved hearing about how you found your way to the Every Rose Has Its Thorn Sailor (or how it found its way to you, I suppose 😉). Also, yay for loving Spadina Rose!! It's such a lovely, reliable ink, and I'm so glad you're enjoying it. (This video did remind that I still need to grab a bottle of Opera Rose, though. My wallet weeps. LOL) I'm also loving the little cloud swatches. So cute and still so effective at showing off the ink properties. I'm so impressed when people come up with beautiful and interesting ways to swatch. It took me forever just to find a way to make decent circles that worked for me. Anything beyond that is just too hard. 😅 Beautiful ink lineup all the way around!
Thank you so much!
never before have you done a currently inked color palette that contained such romantic and graceful inks. each new ink you laid down gave me tingles and giggles like a school girl with a new crush. LOL. changing your process keeps your content fresh. keep the glass rod/spoon thingy and the clouds. you’re a trailblazer and many will follow! I’m so happy your new pen found you. may i suggest you name her grace? ❤
Thank you, such kind words! Also, I love that name!
The twsbi wrench works to open the piston chamber on the custom 823 if need be. I find that helpful when i want to change ink colors.
It’s so funny because I also bought my Every Rose Has Its Thorn secondhand. I had always lusted over this pen but it was so out of my price bracket that I couldn’t get it. But a person on a fountain pen group posted about hers and I cheekily responded saying if she ever falls out of love with it and wants to sell, I’m keen. Honestly, I never expected her to sell it or remember my comment. Months later, she messaged me and told me she loves the pen but not enough to keep it in her collection… do I still want to buy it? She wanted to pass it on to someone who would love it more than her. The price was still a lot higher than I could afford at that moment but she let me pay it off. It’s now mine and like you, it is one of my absolute favourites. That nib is everything. Mine has such a glorious bounce to it. But what is better is that we connected over this pen and I now have a new online friend 😊
What a beautiful story and I'm so glad you put yourself out there!
Your currently inked vids are so relaxing to watch (& I love your handwriting and color choices)! If you're looking for help, easiest way to learn to pronounce "Terre de Feu" is to try French to English translation on Google Translate, then click on the little audio button and the nice computer lady will demo how to say it. It's basically "terr deuh feuh" -- means land/soil/earth of fire. ☺❤❤
Thank you! Seriously, why didn't I think of it?!? I will definitely rely on Google Translate next time!
I love your colour palette, a favourite J. Herbin for me is Poussière de Lune (Moondust). It would also fit this palette. Oyster Hour is also among my favourite.
Oh Liane! I love how much you love your Sailor pro gear ERHIT! Once you rename it, it’ll be your dearest love! ❤️ 🌹 I felt every bit of joy when you wrote with it. Luckily for you, you don’t have the sailor collecting bug that I do lol!!! It’ll definitely be your favorite for this month :)
Thank you! It literally took me a minute before I realized what ERHIT was. :)
@@lianelikes haha yes I felt like that might have stumped you a bit
My husband got me Every Rose Has Its Thorn for our anniversary, and I love her so much! I put Ferris Wheel Press Dusk in Bloom in her, it's my fave combo💙
Sounds like a lovely combo!
Love the clouds and to be honest, so many people have now copied your circle technique that I do still get to see it a lot! I love that you had that Harry Potter experience. It does seem like that is the perfect one for you!
Thank you so much!
i saw someone using kakimori lauscha glass pen to do swatching months ago. it's a bit too expensive for me and i'm the clumsy type so i'm scared that i break the nib. i did have the idea to use a glass coffee stirrer but wasn't sure if it would work. so thank you! definitely you should consider sticking with this new swatching method.
Aww love you too 💜💜💜
😍
Push Pull Art Store in Ballard...guess where i am going on Saturday. Thank you. Rachelle in Seattle
Oh I'm so glad!!!
This selection is gorgeous! I love all the purples. I've been feeling in a very purple mood this month, this weekend I want to ink up some new pens with purple inks. Have you tried J. Herbin Pousierre de Lune? That's one of my favourite inks ever.
Yes, I have tried Pousierre de lune and it is divine! My small 10ml bottle has dried out a bit so I'll probably get another one.
Ohh that oyster hour is calling meh name... Lisa buy me now! Lol these are all lovely shades and getting me into trouble. 😇
Fellow Seattlelite here! Recently rediscovered fountain pen love so I appreciate your local mentions. A little off-topic but would you share your nail polish color?
Hi, yes! It's from Londontown, nail illuminating concealer. :)
I have been down a rabbit hole on fountain pens. Think as a beginner I'll try a Lamy Safari? But when you mentioned Seattle now I know where to get some pens and ink from! Just moved here in December. Thank you for your great videos.
Welcome to Seattle! You’ll definitely want to try Kinokuniya Bookstore in Chinatown, in addition to Push/Pull in Ballard!
@@lianelikes I went to Kinokuniya and got a Ferris Wheel Press pen and sample set that had Buttered Popcorn, which I heard is discontinued!
@Bearded_Mortician That’s great! Hope you got some good food at the food court, too!

Why does no o w talk about TERRE DE FEU?? It’s stunning!
It is beautiful indeed, but what I love the most is the way she pronounced it. She renamed it like a boss! Who dares to call it anything else from now on? Not me!
Spadina Rose is perfect for the Platinum 3776 Sakura!
LOL!
I know, it is!!!
Love your ink choices. Also you should clean out your pens before re-inking, especially with different brands. (I have been told that some brands will interact with other brands). I like the new swatching better too.
Thanks! Yes, I will definitely clean out my 823 next time...
You can mix some inks from the same brands and the same line within the brand. Quick research will tell you whether something is mixable. The 823 is a pest to clean but only takes a little bit longer than others and worth the time considering the cost of the pen. Terre de Feu is pronounced “tear - de - furh” ( tear as in rip and feu ends in a soft r sound).
Thank you for the helpful pronunciation! I'll keep that in mind.
What notebook/paper do you use for the swatches? Love the video! So peaceful and soothing
Thanks! I use the Hobonichi A5 plain notebook (Tomoe River Paper).
Please keep the clouds, those metal cups are so 2023 lol great colors
Lol, thanks!
Your new flower swatches tourney out wonderfully! You matched the colors so pretty for the month.
The FWP is such a beautiful ink, is it comparable to Robert Oster Dusky Pink (if you have that)?
I haven't tried dusky pink! It sounds like a lovely complement to this month's selection!
@@lianelikes you should ☺️ It would fit perfectly
A tip on how to pronounce TERRE DE FEU: Say "tear duh fuh"
- Terre = Tear (as in "tear a piece of paper")
- De = duh
- Feu = fuh / pheuh (it's one syllable instead of "phee-ew")
Hope that helps! ^^
So helpful!!!! Thank you!!!
I think that Aziza refills without cleaning, so i gave myself permission to do that, too.😅 terre de feu - tare duh pho
Thanks for the pronunciation tip!!!
Lovely inks and pens! Your notebook seems to hold the ink very well. Maybe I missed it, but could you share the name of the notebook? I'm having some trust issues with notebooks bleeding through.
Hi there, it's the Hobonichi A5 plain notebook in Tomoe River paper. :)
How about the name Juliet?
Yes, I love it!!!
