Available at many auto parts stores, where it will be called something like a "rock chip touch-up tool"!

Works great with watercolors - use your paint filled brush to fill the reservoir!

Becca (500x): This is a very satisfying tool. I used to do pottery. Kemper is a good brand for a lot of our pottery tools.

Right after some other lettering artist talked about it, I bought it - isn’t it cool? The cap is to protect the tip - you should clean it out every time you use it… So fun to blend colors 🥰. It makes me think of a glass pen, how it writes…

What about trying out one of those glass pens with the spirals down to the tip that you dip directly into the ink? I've seen them on Instagram but I'm always sceptical as to how well they work.🤔

I've seen much bigger versions of this being used with melted wax to make batik fabric.

@languageandhobbies 3 жыл бұрын

I very much enjoyed watching you enjoy this product. This seems like a simpler version of something like the Speedball Oblique Pen Holder, which has an offset/elbow for the nib for writing Copperplate and Spencerian scripts without twisting your arm around to flex the nib tines properly. You just won't get the variation in line thickness of a fountain pen.

I have an old “ruling pen” with a screw to open or narrow the tines. Got it in college but never used it. Not even sure how to but I’m pretty sure calligraphers use ruling pens like this one for some fun stuff.

@mopatk7435 3 жыл бұрын

@Azha B Is it the kind with one curved side snd one flat side, with an adjustable screw? Do you dip it or fill it with a dropper? Do you write with the space between the tines or one side? Thanks for any advice!

Have you ever demonstrated a glass pen? some people might be interested. AND you can write a word with one color, then dip in a new color and just touch parts of the word to get a nice blending going…

Ok. So as you glided the fluid writer on the paper it felt that the tool was really smooth. A glasspen I think is the same kind of stuff. I am not sure about it, cause I am a beginner and just use brush pens. But I see other people use a glasspen so according to the outcome,I think they are almost the same 😊

When you want to clean it use the cap to squeeze out the remaining colour add very warm water to flush. So easy.

I believe that's the same tool they use to decorate Ukrainian eggs using the paraffin wax resist method.

Seems like you'd have to fill it frequently, so it'd be a bit (ok, a LOT) annoying. 🤔
