- And I see a letter. Is that a letter? Is it a letter? *Gasp* I have a letter! He wrote me a letter! Hello there! How are you all doing? I hope you're all doing well. So I'm so excited for today's video because I have been anticipating this box for however long it's been since I first heard about it, could be two months, could be six years for all I know, this year has just gone fast
and slow all at the same time and it's just - I don't - I hate this year. I was very kindly sent the Jazza's
Ultimate Creativity Collection by Jazza, and I'm so incredibly grateful for it because this is the
biggest, most expensive, incredibly jam-packed full, huge art box that has ever existed in the history
of art boxes. This thing is honestly probably like 20 pounds, it is so heavy. It is valued at over
769 dollars, there's three boxes inside and it's so cool! I feel like a kid again or I feel like me a
year ago when I was unboxing the Jazza's Jazzy Art Box that I kept calling the Jazza's Arty Art Box,
which is also wrong. The Jazza's Arty Art Box! I was like a big child. I was so
excited, I got a note from Jazza inside. And I just, I was so excited. It's not often you get a letter from your, your inspirations, is it? And the quality of that box was amazing, so the fact that he has released three boxes in one is just incredible. For the whole set, it costs $365 or you can buy them individually as well for - this one's $99, this one is $99 but this huge one in the middle is $199. So it's up to you whether you buy them all
individually or if you buy them as a set like I've got. Now, if I was to open each box and use every
single item in these boxes in one video, the video would probably be over two hours long and I'm not
gonna subject all of you to two hours of me, don't worry. So there will be three videos this week:
today, Saturday and next Wednesday, all at 2 PM, EST. Today I will be opening and using the Incredible
Inky Box. On Saturday I'll be opening and using the Mega Minis Box and on Wednesday I'll be
opening the Super Sculpture Box. And because Jazza was so kind to send this to me for free, I really
would like to give back to one of you while also supporting Jazza as well. So what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna hold a giveaway so if any of you would like to win one of these boxes, all you need to
do to enter is make sure that you give the video a thumbs up, make sure you subscribe to me and
also leave a comment down below telling me what, which box that you want, why you would like it and
also leave your Twitter or Instagram handle so I can get in contact with you if you win. Also, bonus
points if you do this with the video on Saturday and Wednesday, but basically, yeah, just leave a comment
telling me which books you'd like and I'll buy one for the winner. Now I'm gonna stop talking now
because I have some stuff to unbox! Okay, so we are gonna open up the Incredible Inky Box and - I see
a letter. Is that a letter? Is it a letter? *Gasp* I have a letter! He wrote me a letter! It says my name on it! *Gasp* That's so - *Gasp* What's this? What's this? Oh my gosh, I'm so excited. I have a letter from Jazza!
I feel like a kid again! "Dear Chloe Rose, you got another letter. I feel very privileged and honored, thank you so much, Jazza. It was so fun seeing your creativity with the Jazzy box, so this time there's
a lot more stuff. These three boxes represent the mediums I found the most surprise, joy and
satisfaction in over the years and I hope they bring as much joy to you. Keep being amazing, Jazza." *Gasp* I have a little such official much fancy little thing. This is so cool! I love it! Thank you so much,
Jazza, this is so awesome! I'm going to just put this on my wall somewhere. Every time that
I feel uncreative, I'll be like, "Hey! Jazza called me...amazing." A message from SmartArtBox: "We would like
to inform you that with this early release edition, Jazza's instructional booklets will not be included."
Jazza actually told me this yesterday, he just told me that if I had trouble with anything
just to let him know, because these boxes do not have the booklets in yet because he's
still working on them but when you receive them, they will have the booklets inside. Okay, so inside
the Jazza's Incredible Inky Box, we have - wow, this is so beautifully packed. We have the Cappuccino book.
So this is by Hahnemuhle, it is 120 GM, 55 pounds, 80 pages. The cover is so smooth as well. Okay,
inside the pages are literally like a cappuccino color, I guess that's where the cappuccino thing comes from. That is really really nice. Next up, I'm just gonna, because my eyeballs were like, drawn to
this beautiful brush, I'm gonna pull this one out. This is a - oh, it's so shiny! It's so pretty! This is
a Royal & Langnickel Crafters Choice Pro No. 4, and it's in like, a gold, rose gold - well,
technically it's kind of the color of my lamp. Don't fall. Don't fall. There we go. This is a
gorgeous paintbrush. I mean, I'm easily amused but it's a very pretty paintbrush. Ooh, this is
like one of those math books you used to have. Do you remember when math class used to have like,
graphing paper? This is essentially what this is. It's for calligraphy! Okay, okay, this makes
me nervous because I'm crap at calligraphy! Next up, we have a Dura-bright white, opaque white
paper sheet set. Ooh, it's so smooth! I think they use this for like, alcohol inks or am I
wrong? It says 90% isopropyl alcohol will clean off virtually anything, giving you a clean surface.
So out of curiosity I'm gonna do a bit of research in a minute to figure out what this is actually
for but it's very smooth, very film like because it is a film. Next up in the Incredible Inky Box, we
have - okay, I'm gonna leave this one till last because this actually is customized to be Jazza on it
but THIS one - metallic calligraphy set. A metallic calligraphy set by Jacquard with Pearl Ex and Gum Arabic. I think I've had a couple of these in boxes before and they're really really nice because
you actually mix the pigments up. So we have... Oh wow, we have a lot here! I'm
just gonna chuck them on the table! So we have 10 pearl pigments here. This is just
8 of them because I can't hold more than that. Basically, these can be used as calligraphy ink so
you basically mix equal parts of the pigment with the Gum Arabic and essentially you make your own
pigment and it's really really fun. The branding on this box is amazing, like, there's so much
work gone into this. Next up, we have some ElegantWriter Speedball calligraphy markers. These
are crisp chisel nibs containing a free-flowing acid-free ink. These ElegantWriter markers are
the ideal tool for creating beautiful calligraphy projects. So this is all about like, calligraphy
and inks in general and again, I'm not good with calligraphy - well, I've never actually given it a go. I
gave like, hand lettering a go but calligraphy is very different to that - at least I think it is! So
we basically have four different sizes, we have 3 millimeter, 2.5 millimeter, 2 millimeter and -
I'm guessing those two are the same. These look fun so I'm excited to give them a go. Next up we have
a little paint brush here, this one is another one of those beautiful gold, rose gold colors,
again by Royal & Langnickel and this is a size - I actually don't know what size this is.
It's kind of rubbed off a little bit. Wait... wait...can i see it? Nope. Can't find it. I really like these a lot, very very aesthetically pleasing. Then we have some...these are definitely alcohol
inks, I recognize these from previous art boxes. These ones are...let me see. Okay, these are
alcohol inks and we have four different shades. We have Aqua Green, we have Amethyst, we
have Rainbow and we have Tangerine. And I've never physically used alcohol inks before, I've received
them but I've just never used them so I'm very excited to see what we can create. I do like the
colors that he's added together though, these are very pretty together. Next up, we have some bubble
wrap! This is some high quality bubble wrap that we can all definitely not use in this box because it
doesn't belong. We have some alcohol inks, I believe. Watercolor inks! Okay, nice. These are by Graphics
Aqua Inks and we have red, blue and yellow. I'm not sure what we're gonna make with this stuff yet
but I like that he's put in the primary colors because you can make so many different colors with
primary colors. Got some more bubble wrap! Last but not least, we have the Jazza's Deluxe Writing
Collection, and I'm very excited for this because it feels kind of...weighty. I've just realized I
threw that box on the floor! And if we open it up... Oh my gosh, this is so cool! It's beautiful, it's
got his little avatar on the box which is really cute and then we have all of the dip pen nibs
which I'm definitely going to stab myself with and cut myself at some point. Then we have
some - oh, we have like a little pot of ink! A little feather pen ink! And
then we have this beautiful, beautiful glass dip pen. That is so pretty. Wow, that
is gorgeous. I really like that a lot. We have seven dip pen nibs, do you call them nibs? I hope you do.
You have the nibs! One is already inside the glass dip pen and the rest are inside the set.
We have a little metal thing that we can like, be all old-fashioned and fancy - oh, I like this. Hang on,
I'm going to be fancy now. That's so cute! Look at me! I feel like I should be in Harry
Potter or something! I love that, that is absolutely awesome! Jazza, amazing job on the first box! I'm so
excited to see what I can do with this. So this is everything that's inside the box, I'm really really
excited to try it all out so let's get started. Okay, so inside our Inky Box we have all of our
lovely stuff here, as you can see. I think what I'm going to start off by doing is I'm just gonna take this and I'm going to use this to swatch everything. I'm gonna practice some calligraphy
words, I guess, on this paper. Still don't know what these are for. I should probably research actually,
let me have a look. So it looks like you can actually use these for inks and just spreading out
the inks onto it. Okay, so we're going to swatch out the alcohol inks first of all and try not to make
a mess everywhere. Too late. So this doesn't soak in and I think that's really neat. Oh, dammit! Crap!
This is the Amethyst, then we have Tangerine. They stink! They smell so bad! We have our
Rainbow and I feel like Rainbow needs to just like, go over the top - ooh! *Gasp* Oh! *Gasp* That's so
pretty! What the heck? Oh, it's like a little coral reef a little bit! *Gasp* That's so nice! I
can see the sparkle. Do you see the sparkle? I'm just gonna like, play around
with this because it looks so fun. I really love the way that this works.
Like, that is so nice. And it's so simple too, that's what I'm amazed at. Like, to make
something really like, abstract and pretty. Let me try adding some more tangerine in. Damn, this is satisfying as heck! And
like, you can see the like, glittering. Can you see the glittery kind of
look to that? That is so pretty. Honestly, the only thing I would say about
this is it really smells very strong. So I would definitely recommend that you
have some sort of ventilation because this is very strong! I feel like that would
make a really pretty tray or something. Like, that is gorgeous. Okay, I'm gonna leave that
one there and I'm gonna make a second one now because I'm having way too much fun with this! Okay,
we're gonna stick this one here. I'm gonna do some purple dots and then I'm gonna add some little
green. I'm going to add a little bit of yellow. Oh, it looks like a galaxy! It literally looks
like a gal- oh, this is so cool! These are my two that I've made so far. I really wanna like, draw a
bear and have this like, surrounding him somehow. Oh, he's got two little feet! It's like a blob man
with two little feet, look! That's cute. We'll give it like, a little constellation effect. Cute! Look
at that! Okay, so these are our three alcohol ink artworks, these look so neat! Like, a lot of you that
do this all the time probably think, wow that looks bad, but you know what? This was so fun! The colors
and everything, just the way it blends is so pretty. This is my favorite thing that I've made in a long
time and it only took me like five minutes. It was very satisfying. Okay! Next up I'm going to
test out these markers - if I can get into them! Great. Now it's on the floor. So
you have the 2 millimeter. Oh, that's a straight line.
That's wonderful. That's great. Okay, that's definitely not it but there
we go! That's the two millimeter one. Let's try the 2.5. Another non-straight line. Nope, it's not
gonna work. And last up, we're gonna use the 3 millimeter. I don't even know how
to hold this properly! Okay, straight down. See, a lot of modern calligraphy is kind
of like, hand lettering but it's still like, old-fashioned calligraphy is so much neater and
more professional, strict, straight looking than hand lettering. Tombow markers are pretty easy
because they're brush pens. I mean, I'm really bad at it but that's what I would do with a Tombow
marker. But I really don't know how I would use a calligraphy pen to achieve that. So I think
what I'm going to do is do some research! -The top of the pen slanted at a 45 degree angle. -Slanted. Okay. No, that's a slanted line! Okay, so this is very different to brush lettering. Brush lettering,
I can kind of wrap my head around; calligraphy, definitely not. I feel like getting any half decent
at calligraphy would involve so many hours and hours and hours and hours of practice so I think
what I'm going to do for now is just copy some words and i know "minimum" is a word that people are
always, always going on about. So we're going to try... I've just...mim. That says mim! Let's try again. I
messed up. I buggered up. Oh, that's so wonky! No! Oh, that's so bad! That is so bad! It
looks like a bunch of scribbled lines! Okay, I'm gonna try the bigger nib because I
feel like maybe I'd have more success with that. Okay, this is working a little bit better. Yeah, that looks...that looks great. I am not
good at this in one tiny little bit if I'm being honest with you. I spelt mim again.
I spelt mim again! Why am I doing that? "Minimi..." I spelt "minimi!" "Minimi!"
That's not right either! One more try. I mean, kind of but not really. Maybe
I should...I'm going to try my name and it's probably gonna be incorrect. C...H...L...O...I don't know how you do an E. Oh no, heck, that's not a fricking E,
that's a P! Now, I've never used one of these, but from the old oldie worldy films that I've
watched, they stick it in there - right? Is that what you do? -The little hole is a well that holds
the ink after dipping your pen in. -I'm confused. Okay, if I put more on...ooh, okay! *Gasp* Oh, it's cute!
I buggered that up. These are neat, I've never really known how to use these before
but apparently this little hole here that you can't see right now is a reservoir
that kind of somewhat holds the ink. Okay, he is not perfect but I did him in like, five
minutes. We're just gonna do that as an experiment to now try this ink pen because I feel
like this is what I'm most familiar with and if I was to actually buy this box,
this is probably what I would actually use it for versus, um, the calligraphy. Oh, you
know what? The dip pen is actually quite nice because it has the two, like, the two little prongs. I'm still not very good at control with a dip
pen because I'm just getting it everywhere. I think I've got the hang of the
flow, the ebb and flow of the ink. It's mostly on my hands at this point
but still, I think I've got the hang of it. Oh no! I went too heavy-handed! It's gone through
to the next page. Poo! I should have put paper there. And I really like the way that it works and if I
draw my name...oh, I feel like Harry Potter from the Chamber of Secrets when he wrote "Tom Marvolo Riddle." Nice! I don't really know what i'm doing but it kind of works. This bear is terrible, let's ignore that. So something I want to try now is swatching some of these pigments. So I needed
some cups the other day, like disposable ones but I obviously didn't want to buy a bunch
of like, regular plastic ones so I found these compostable ones on eBay - not eBay, on Amazon,
and I'm gonna basically use these to mix up some of this Gum Arabic. Now, I'm just eyeballing
this because I like to live on the edge. I like that a lot. Okay, so we have our blue.
Look how rich they are! Really nice copper. Okay, so these are the swatches from all of
the pigments. Very, very beautiful, very shiny, very metallic and honestly very vibrant. I'm
amazed at those pigments. I think what I'll do now is I will test out these watercolor
inks so you can see those swatches as well. Wow! Okay, these are gorgeous! So we have our
pigments and we have our watercolor inks, these are all the swatches. But yeah, on regular paper you
could definitely use all of these. I'm just not sure how you get this beautiful blend on regular
paper because obviously this is like, a film. Okay, so I, for the first time ever, used a bit of masking
fluid to create this polar bear with the inks and it kinda worked, kinda didn't. The ink doesn't
work with water so when I tried to put pigment on the polar bear, it just didn't blend well with
the inks so that was my mistake and I'm not even gonna bother showing you because it was a fail
and this video is getting way too long anyway. Instead, I just decided to play around with the
alcohol inks again and use a hair dryer this time and this worked really nicely. I used some
of the gold pigment over the top to create a more cracked effect but the pigment doesn't really
like the alcohol inks on this paper very much but I forced it to work and it came out
really nicely. Okay, so this is how it turned out! It's got a bit of gold in there.
I wish it had been a little bit thinner but this is kinda how it turned out. I really
really love playing with these alcohol inks, I think they're really a lot of fun. As for the
calligraphy side of things, I could definitely use more practice with and I definitely
will going forward because I know how much Jazza enjoys it. As for the calligraphy side of
this box, that's something I definitely need a lot of practice behind the scenes with but um,
I now have the supplies that I need to make it as good as I can so I will definitely practice
with it going forward. So thank you so much for watching this video, I really really hope that you
enjoyed it, please feel free to check out the next two videos in the series and yes, for now, thank
you so much to Jazza for sending me this box, I'm really excited to show you the next one, take care
of yourselves and I will see you in the next video.
