I pulled out my old dip pen and ink bottle this week for a little tutorial. I learned how to use a dip pen when I was studying art in college (sounds so educated, but I actually only completed two courses) and it was always fun. I love the expression of line you can get with the flexible nib of a dip pen, and the scratch of nib on paper is very tactile.
Check out the video to see how it’s done! Dip pen supplies are found at most art supply stores.
Have a dip pen? Want to share your own project?
Am I right in thinking that being left-handed adds an element of tricky to this for you? I know a little bit about using these pens, and I am thinking they are a little more right-hand friendly. Maybe I am completely wrong though?
Awesome video, and something completely different to add to your card!!
I bought a dip pen a few years back from Barkerville….I wonder where it went?!
Very cool, Angela. And your card is really lovely.
