Colorverse 2025 Advent Calendar | Week 3

Join in as I unbox and explore days 13-18 of the 2025 Colorverse Inkvent calendar. In this video, I’ll be sharing my first impressions of these 6 days of inks. From creating ink swatches to exploring the different color exploration possibilities, I show the swatches on Col-O-Ring swatch cards and talk about the colors after they have had a chance to dry and reveal their true colors so to speak.

Be sure you are subscribed to see the next three videos that will be coming in the next couple of weeks featuring 6 more inks in each release.

The Best Pens I Collected This Year

As the year draws to a close, it is time to take a look back at all of the fountain pens that made their way into my collection over the year and see what I would determine to be the top 5 pens of 2025. As I did last year, I also add in a couple of honorable mentions, and then I go through all of the maker pens that I added this year, as maker pens don’t fall into a ranking system for me, as they are all unique.

I also announce in the video that there is a new YouTube channel membership level that after 10 months, you will receive a pen made by me. For more information about channel memberships, you can look at the following link.
