I’ve been posting more things to instagram lately, here’s one of them!
Gabby, your calligraphy is getting soooooo gooood I love it! Have you tried doing pointed pen calligraphy?
a little! i’ve posted a few things, and the videos i’ve posted are me using a zebra g nib, and i’ve posted a few other things! i’ve been doing that one over the past few weeks
although the thing is it wasnt until like this week that i figured out that the reason i was having so many problems with it is that the ink for dip pens is thicker than fountain pen ink, and to make calligraphy ink u add gum arabic to thicken it!
this is the first thing i’ve created w it, creating my own ink! pearl ex rose gold
bc i love her with all my heart and soul and so the first thing i wrote was this
i also tried to make a flower. i do not know how to make a flower.
and also, here’s i made this one in pearl ex antique silver!
so, i finally figured out my problem with dip pens--turns out that you gotta add a thickening agent if you use fountain pen ink for the dip pens--which i have been. low and behold, here it is!
if you’ve liked, send ink! i wanna use more shiny inks, and to buy me one of them check out my amazon wishlist for pearl ex powders, which i mix myself to turn into ink! or, buy my the tripod and i’ll use it to take better videos than what i can do while holding this with just one hand lol
