In the Fall of 2023, I really got back into using my pointed nibs, so I ordered more, and decided to try out some new ones (as up to this point -- haha/pun! -- I was only using the Gillot 404 and some Speedball Hunts). So glad I got this one as it's so dainty! Perfect for really tiny writing.
I had shied away from pointed nibs for a long time, until the fall of '23, as I started using them again for all my Halloween env.'s that year. I was doing a lot of detailed work, and pulled out my trusty ones on hand. I find them very sturdy, however, this one is more delicate.
Perfect for finer and smaller lettering.
Close up. Needs cleaning.
Still pic of me in action!
And another.
And here's a demo vid:
Finished piece.
This was actually from my 40 days of "Imagine" in late 2020 (which was a take off of my grateful piece earlier that year! https://foldedpenfan.blogspot.com/2022/07/grateful.html ) I decided to add the lyrics to make it more interesting, and to give away as an insert. (I just hope it's not too big for an env.!)
Diff. angles. I used a combo of Stunt Roman lettering and thin foundational.
Daler-Rowney Pearlescent ink.
"Imagine" done with w/c block letters and then gestural script on top.
*(If too big, I may make into a booklet.)
Love the dainty-ness of this nib! Gonna order more.
