[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Owls + Tom's Studio = a perfect combination! Love the TS packaging too.

thank you Natasha! :))

"Tea, coffee, hot drink ... butter" All my favorite things in the world 😹. Tom's Studio 💛 This was wonderful, I love the lines that you were able to get with this dip nib, I have the kakimori and it seems a little similar to that, i may need to check it out. Thanks for sharing your findings :)

[@cherylclough4309]

I must tell you…thank you! Because of you and Lily Moon Art I ordered a set of Deep Deep Light, Moody Landscape. I haven’t had a chance to swatch them yet, (can’t wait to do that), but I was so surprised how quickly they arrived, They pans were in a sweet little tin all their own and she included 10, TEN dots of other colors for me to try out. So, so generous. I will absolutely be ordering again. Thanks again for the heads up on this lovely brand of watercolors.

Toms Studio! Isn t it a miracle, that all the colors we love have their origin in red,blue and yellow? I love, seeing you do the magic. Thank you!

It looks like a Kakimori nib! I have one and highly recommend it, also vintage (circa 1930s/40s) Italian and German glass nibs.

[@kriksis]

It is quite similar :) How interesting to hear about pens you have :)

[@kelligrotle407]

Tom’s Studio. What a wonderful adventure it is, learning so much from your videos, Kriksis! Thank you so much. Love your work. 😊

Kriksis, did you knit the sweater? I love the neckline trim.

[@kriksis]

Hello! Yes it's hand knitted sweater. It's the same blue I had before, but it got stretched out. I realise after handwashing's it shrinks back again but now it's a bit wider in neckline area.

[@deborahmeyers551]

Tom's Studio ❤love your videos 😊

[@kriksis]

thank you Deborah!

[@jekalambert9412]

It looks like it's basically a ruling pen on a handle.

[@victotostudio8047]

This is a lot like kakimori dip pen set!

[@kriksis]

Yes quite similar !

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

Tom's Studio,they do make pens that look amazing,but that are brilliant for drawing and calligraphy. Amazing how many colours you were able to mix from the Bombay inks so you could create a palette of colours more suited to your work. Your owl and bid studies were realy expressive and characterful thanks ti the variation of line you could get using the dip pen. It might be interesting to se how using this new one dip pen works drawing over watercolours maybe. I love the Barn Owl you drew towards the end so much character to him.(matt)P. I wonder how foxes would look being drawn with this dip pen.....

[@kriksis]

Thank you for lovely comment Matt! Yes, Tom's studio makes really interesting pens indeed! Yes, would love to sketch foxes with this dip pen as well!

[@Samantha_tookey197]

I have a fountain pen problem lol. I just bought 3 vintage pens last week and a Parker calligraphy pen, I have a vintage shaeffer calligraphy pen and I’m going to practice my calligraphy with it. I’ve also discovers octopus inks, I got one called gryphon which is a beautiful dark red with green. Thanks for the video, the dip pen looks really nice, I’ve only used the cheap ones with India ink and a glass dip pen I had until the nib broke ❤

[@kriksis]

Haha, totally understand where are you coming from! I bought my 5th fountain pen recently. Did I needed another one? I'm not sure. Did I regret? No, not at all. :D that Gryphon ink sounds really interesting. :)

[@Samantha_tookey197]

@@kriksis I’ve just had a look on Tom’s website and I’ve chosen a pen and ink (in my head) as soon as I can I’m going to treat myself, I just got told today from occupational therapy that my landlord has refused to let me have a wet room put in so my Monday has got off to a depressing start. X

Tom's studio, my oh my I have a problem with that that store- I can't stop spending in there lol. Where did you get your little bottles from? I've been searching for a while & I'm obviously not putting in the right search words when looking lol

[@kriksis]

Haha, I can understand! Before they gifted me this I bought nibs and glass jar inkwell from them. For bottles you can find on Ebay by typing ''' Glass Bottles Empty With Drop''

[@michelleh9685]

@@kriksis awesome thank you

[@tanglingheadphones]

For those who want to play with this style of pen, look up ruling pens, you might already have one lying around the house or in a forgotten set somewhere.

[@kriksis]

This is a good tip!
