Chris Saenz | Progress Report - November 2022 @ChrisSaenz13 | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
In this video I show you my Ink Journal entries for the 8 fountain pens and inks I'm using this month (November 2022) and talk about how it's going. I'm using 8 TWSBI Ecos, 7 with M nibs and 1 with a B nib. We do a comparison ink panel on a beautiful sold out ink from Vanness: Hissy Fit, and I also show you my box of projects and distractions I'm enjoying this month within the hobby!!!!
Here is a list of the pens and inks talked about in the video:
SPECIAL NOTE: video is labeled with "paid promotion" since one of the inks I am featuring was supplied by a pen store - Colorverse Alpha Centauri 15 ml bottle from Vanness Pen Shop. The rest of the pens and inks were purchased with my own money, channel ad funds and samples/pens supplied by pen friends as noted below.
1. TWSBI Eco Clear M - with Vanness Hissy Fit ink (30 ml bottle purchased with channel ad money).

December Plans:
Miss Marilyn Darling gifted me samples of the 2022 Inkvent Calendar inks and I'm very excited to try those in December so we'll see which pens I will use for that ... probably heavy on the Serendipity's and other dip pens I have. :) During my December Progress Reports (weekly is what I plan) I will show you my journal entries and any pens that are inked with Diamine Inkvent ink.
