Post 3 (P&I), Horizon Folded Nib

 For my page, I just used the Thank You card (and blank one below)

Added abstract design to black store-bought card.



black India ink

Various India (and other) inks.

Today’s post is demonstrating a folded nib/folded pen. You can purchase the nib separately if you already have plenty of holders, or purchase the full folded pen (holder included), both available at Paper & Ink. I bought the nib itself along with their e&m penholder.

What I love most about folded pens is the freedom you have when lettering, etc. Basically, there are no rules. Just like the Ruling Writer, hold it upright for thin strokes, or angled to get thicker lines. I find it so fun to create with these tools, as I love the abstract results. Swipe to see various samples and a demo video at the end.

Another product I used (shown in first pic) is Ecoline watercolor ink in warm grey (also available at Paper & Ink). I love this tone because it’s not too dark, like regular black ink. It’s also a nice alternative to walnut and India inks.
