Hey pen geeks. I got a glass pen for Christmas. Anyone using one of these? Ink suggestions? Ink pot suggestions? Links to a good page/vid or your own anecdotes are appreciated.

I use one with all of my inks. As far as ink pot, i just dip it in a sample vial/bottle and use a small glass bowl to clean it.

@jellycrystals They are great for ink samples and just writing with inks you don’t use much. Also any ink with glitter and sheen since they are easy to clean.

@jellycrystals Pretty much any ink will work and the great thing about a dip pen is you don’t have to worry about shimmer inks clogging the feed. A lot of places are having end of year sales, I picked up some stuff from the Atlas Stationers last chance sale. I’d suggest looking for something fun!

@jellycrystals Pretty much any ink you can get your hands on, just dip and write. Keep a little bowl/cup/ramekin of water to swish it in to clean as needed. You can dip straight out of a bottle or move ink to a little inkwell and dip from that. Super simple there, not much to go wrong.
