again, accidental food related theme. i have had this porcelain pen for a while, and have been itching to try it out. . .the ink is food safe, after baking in the oven.
overall, the pen itself wasn't very fun to use - it has unpredictable ink flow and occasionally dries right up at which point one must shake it and tap the tip vigorously however this results in a super fast flow that is hard to control. is it just my pen? also, I'd like to see a more sepia shade, instead of black. i doodled on an op shop plate this morning and it looks terrible (it is shades of creme and little floral bits and the black looks really stark). i'm thinking maybe the porcelain paint would fair better.
but check out these beautiful ones by Netherlands crafter Nina Vorm. . . .
she screenprints vintage china - how gorgeous are they!? geesh they really make my efforts look amateurish.
I'd never heard of porcelain pens before. What an interesting idea ....
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of them either where do you find them could be very fun!
ReplyDelete@Kyliei got mine at spotlight - i you can also get a paint version which i think i might also try. . .after the ink is dry, you put them in the oven on low heat and that makes it permanent (dishwasher safe too i think?)
ReplyDeletethat looks interesting!
