I was given a GLASS PEN - OMG I wish I had known 🤯

[@blondelebanese9922]

Don’t be like me - I got myself a glass dip pen then found that I was so afraid I’d break it that I couldn’t use it for a long time. When I finally got up enough nerve to use it, my cat, Cleopatra, accidentally knocked it off my desk and broke it. I was so mad at myself for putting off using the gorgeous pen. So guys, don’t be like me - be brave and be bold and use your tools from day one! Ana

Yesss, great advice!!!

You'll never have the special one your hubby gave you, but glass pens fortunately aren't that expensive, so hopefully you can replace it.

[@amandaacunia1107]

Glass pins are so pretty, I'm also clumsy. So I keep it in the box if I get one.

[@analiaf.j.6131]

My husband gifted me one of these glass pen a couple of years ago, every time I use it I feel so amazingly vintage! LOL!

Yesss,I love that...amazingly vintage!

[@salnellen1381]

I’ve had a beautiful glass pen for at least 20 years that’s still in the box! You have inspired me to finally use it now!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Oh my goodness, take that beauty out of the box and start using it!

[@Escherlife]

I have one and love it too! Just be careful not to press too hard, the tip is very fine and the glass can chip or break quite easily 🥰

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Oh, great tip!

[@spicexhoney]

Don't ever apologize for being yourself! Your reaction to the ink still running is the SAME exact one I would have alone. Its so wholesome. This looks so fun. I've been playing with bamboo dip pens, but they run out fast. Better for sketching, in my opinion. I have to try for a glass pen.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thanks for the support friend!! So fun to play around with these!

[@althelas]

Glas pens are amazing. I've bought my first one 15 years ago in Murano and have collected some more over the years. They are so much fun to write with and they hold so much more ink than a regular dip pen.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

They really are!

I was cracking up with you and grabbed my dip pen. I haven’t been twisting it enough. Thanks so much Karen! Your intro was so lovely.💕🌈

[@weefirebelle]

I treated myself to one of those glass pens a few years ago. It was absolutely gorgeous and worked amazingly and for a long time between dips. Sadly I managed to chip the tip of it and though it still looked fine, the flow of ink was seriously impaired. I kept it however to admire its pretty swirls and colours as I didn't have the heart to throw it away.... until last year. You reminded me of how much I enjoyed using it, I may have to treat myself now to another one! 🤭

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Oh no, sad! You totally need to treat yourself to a new one, Alexandra!

[@marilyngardner4269]

Beautiful pen! Just a reminder -- don't bang the nib against a hard surface such as glass when you swish the pen in water to clean it. That can chip the nib. Since I don't trust my hand not to slip, I use a plastic deli container or a paper cup. Some people use a tool to run water over the nib instead, like a miniature hose.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Great tips, Marilyn!

[@Tonisfarm2024]

😂🤣🤣🤣 I cracked up soo much with your reaction...because it was about the same as mine the first time I used my glass pen...complete and utter giddy astonishment!😂😂 Now I'm going to revisit my glass pen for my sketchbook project.

I recently fell down the rabbit hole of glass pens as well! I rinse mine in a re-purposed plastic yoghurt container, rather than risk damaging the pen by accidentally striking it against the wall of a glass jar.

[@beautybug1831]

I'm sorry to ruin the party... 😋 the bottles are GORGEOUS and they are very unique, HOWEVER I'm not sure they are such a very great ink storage solution, since... 1) Ink contains a high percentage of water. Because these bottles aren't well sealed, the ink may dry out over time. 2) An unseal bottle can also lead to contamination of the ink (Especialy if you have fur-babies, and their hair is... everywhere... Lol...) Mold can grow over time. 3) According to the manufacturer's instructions, the recommendation is to store ink in a cool & shaded place. That's why most of us, FP & ink aficionados, keep our ink bottles in the original boxes, or alternatively, store the bottles in a closed place, far away from any light source (Including light bulbs, btw... 😎)

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

I'm 1 month new to fountain 🖋️ pens and inks. I have about 15 pens and my Jinhao 51a keeps writing. I looked at the converter and there is no ink.🤣 I am writing the same words that you were writing, " How is this pen still writing?" "Wow I can't believe it's still going!" I was just as amazed as you and so far i have written 3 full pages of cursive writing. It's still going. I want to change inks, but I don't want to waste it by dumping it so I keep on practicing. Tomorrow I should run out. It was funny watching you write down everything you said, because I was doing the same thing.😆 I am experimenting with inks also. I just bought a set of scented inks, so that i can surprise my grandnieces when I write to them. I will check out your ink video. So far I have diamine, which are perfect, quink which is good and private reserve which are too wet for inexpensive writing paper. They bleed thru. Thank you for your excitement about art. I'm 61 and took some art classes( painting , clay and installation)4 years ago and one of my profs had your energy. She pushed us hard. But fun was the main thing while being serious with our dedication to the project. Doing it half a** was not an option. Her classes were always packed like I'm sure yours are. Thank you. Your joy of life is sorely needed in these current times. Be blessed, Leo 🦁

I have the exact same glass pen and I totally forgot I had it until I watched this video. I didn't know the trick about spinning it as you draw, thank you! I remember when you started your ink collection, it has grown quite a bit. I wish I had the budget to collect those inks they are beautiful and I like that their water soluble. I have the Dr. Martin's inks and they are permanent so I can't blend them which is one of my favorite things to do. You can will me your set when you die...lol, it's the only way I'd get a collection as amazing as yours.

[@samcollage7682]

These pens are very affordable and I bought myself a few different styles. When I pulled off the protective plastic sleeve on one like yours, the whole tip broke off. The supplier refunded the cost to me. In the accompanying information with the pens, it said to be careful when washing the tips because they can crack off if the tip hits the sides of the water container. Other than those precautions, it's a fun experience. Also works with watered down watercolor.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Glad they replaced it for you!

If you want to use permanent ink you might want to try the DeAtramentis archival quality inks. This German company also produces scented inks as does J. Herbin, a French ink maker. If spectacular colours are what you are after might I suggest the Troublemaker range of inks which are manufactured in the Philippines. I do not know if these inks are available in the USA.
