Beautiful pens

I have recently rediscovered the dip pen. I love the sound it makes on the paper. I love the ink, and I love the gamble of whether I've got the right amount of ink on the nib... or not! (often too much). I also love that my friend Barb has recently got the dip pen bug, and we've been having dip pen appreciation chats.

I plan to dig out my bamboo dip pen and have a go sketching with that.
