GLASS PEN


So this is the GLASS PEN that my daughter and her husband surprised me with. I was pretty fascinated with it. It's a LongXin glass pen gold ink set.

The nib of the pen is spiraled glass. When you write with it, the ink is very consistent. I experimented to see if I could make it work with watercolor. I thought it would make a great way to sign a painting. I had to make the watercolor the right consistency, but it does work.

Anyway, playing with it got me in trouble doing hair on the last portrait. I got carried away having fun. Oh well. It was worth it.
