I've been 'dipping my toe in the waters' (hahaha) of using a dip pen as opposed to my more usual fountain pens.
Of course as a leftie it's a bit of a challenge, but having previously forced myself to become an 'under-writer' leftie has definitely helped a LOT. Have to work at the control, obviously.
I got some of my fountain pen inks to work ok with some vintage nibs, but i think it would be worthwhile to order some Indian ink, which I believe will be less likely to drip off the nib too easily or too quickly while flexing. I also could use a little set of those "Dinky Dips" tiny plastic inkwells... the plastic milk cap I'm using is a bit too shallow.
Having great fun so far! I love the scratchy scratchy, which i'm sure might drive others crazy. This sample is with Diamine Ruby Blues, a blue ink with a red sheen.
