Plus, I've really been wanting some black post-its for metallic pens. 😍

Here's the minimalist cover that feels incomplete. 😅

PS, can you spot a sleepy husky? 🤣

So pretty. I'm so happy. ☺

Now if anyone can tell me where to get the rest of the damn colors... I have 55/108. How even? 😂

The Le Plume II sets were actually a steal. I think it was a much better splurge than me sitting there contemplating each individual package. I ended up with 7 duplicates though (including my previous pack purchase). As for the Colorins, I just LOVE these brush pens. They are my current favorite. Bold colors and super fat downstrokes with nice pliability. So I own all sets I know of. 😅 (This completed my collection.)

ZIG ART & GRAPHIC TWIN

I had no expectations. I've seen reviews for the Zig Brushables, but never the Art & Graphic Twins, but I wanted to try them out.

These pens are a little odd. I've attached some pics just to try and show it, but the tips are not really a felt or a real brush nib. They're more like silicone-y? So no matter how smooth (or maybe because of smoothness) the paper, they squeak when you write. 😅 I like the brushes though. They're firm, less pliable. I'm not brave enough with my lettering yet, so my downstrokes are okay, but it takes more to keep my upstrokes consistent. 😅 Because of the way I pick up my pen, sometimes, they fade out.

The greens compare Zig Brushables (left) and Zig Art & Graphic (right).

Here's the example of my lettering. Might be hard to tell...

Kuretake Metallics! Can't even tell you what a strange struggle it's been to get these. 😒 Pricing, sellers, timing... ugh. Finally got my claws on them though. 😏

And KomunHorangi's online store is open! I'm so happy to be able to get some of the limited edition Halloween stickers for BNHA! Gonna definitely go back when I have more money for some of their original works. ☺

I'm so excited about these. ☺

I discovered the site from a YouTube bullet journal-er, and since they had such affordable shipping options, I gave it a go. It's nice to be able to try out different brush pens and fall in love with some new brands (or find some you can't buy in singles elsewhere!)

Here's a quick, messy swatching:

(Kinda liked the effect the coloring created. I was dreading making it worse at first, but it worked out.)
