oh my!
i have pics at instagram.com/trystan830 ... my account is public :D |
Dip pens are hard to use. I am not skilled and I probably shouldn't be doing it in bed anyway.
Are the little skulls candy too, or are they soaps? |
the skulls are candy too! i mixed blue and yellow melts and that was the color green i got :)
so we have a historical site near to me - Pennsbury Manor - the manor house and grounds are kept like they were in colonial times, and one of the fun little things you can do is try to write on paper with a quill and ink. one of the times friends and i went with my daughters, we all tried the quill pen, and since i've done calligraphy before, i was the only one who could actually write with it! :) i'm guessing a dip pen would be like the quill? |
They're adorable!
They're exactly like a quill except they are metal nibs instead of a cut feather shaft. I've done some writing with quills as well. They're a bit of a pain though because you have to keep stopping to sharpen them. |
thanks!
ah, gotcha. i've used metal nibs as well. |
The only difference between them and a regular fountain pen is that you have to dip it in the ink repeatedly instead of the ink being inside.
|
yep, i've used both types of pens then. :)
|
I was looking up patterns for a woolly mammoth toy, because I wanted to send Laura Bailey a Jester-Mammoth with a tag that said "Fuck it, I'm a MAMMOTH!"
|
guess you've gone down the pattern clicking rabbit hole on ravelry, and 20 zillion patterns later, you've forgotten what you were looking for in the first place? XD
|
No, I actually forgot why I was looking for a mammoth toy pattern.
Anyway, got the stuff for tomorrow. |
whoops. but good that you remembered :)
|
Yeah. also got a reminder about a game I used to play on my old laptop, so I just installed it. gonna play in a bit.
|
oh yaay! have fun! :)
|
I talked a friend into crocheting a kraken hat for me. She says I don't have to pay her if I pay for materials and the pattern, but I kind of am insisting.
|
ooh a kraken hat sounds like fun!
