New mini pen! (homemade)

 I made yet another homemade mini pen (already have 2)! The main reason: the sample vial openings of the Ferris Wheel Press inks are so small. My first mini pen fits, but I prefer the one made with soda can metal (vs. the metal flashing). But that one won't fit b/c it's taped to a handle that's too big. Grrr.

Also, I'm so bummed as my Parallel Pens are just slightly too big too. Otherwise, they'd be perfect. (Sigh.)

Anyway, here are some samples with my new pen!

I deserve good things. #selflove #healing

Feel it to Heal it. 

Same as above, just diff. filter.

Song lyrics.

More self-love.

And again, same song lyrics.

And here it is! I LOVE how it splatters (like my pp Slant)

Parallel Pen Play (slant tip)

Bought a new slant tip PP recently, as I wanted one that I could use whenever, with whatever ink. I've also been having fun mixing inks! So here is just an abstract alpha using this tool.

Radius cut Parallel Pen

I'd been wanting one of these ever since seeing it at JNB, and now P&I carries them!
I must say though that I love my slant nib a lot more.

At first it was so "weird" to use, and I don't know why (I kind want to get a bigger size, just to compare), but, as you can see below (last pic!), it's growing on me!

Test on WC

Was testing some India ink on watercolor, and when I dabbed up the excess, thought the remaining color was kinda cool.

Plus, I love the tail of the t's crossbar! (from my homemade mini folded pen)
