Parallel Pen Calligraphy Pens

Description

If you are into calligraphy and have graduated from the markers, it's time to try a good calligraphy pen with an ink cartridge. This can be a bit intimidating. Parallel Pens, however, make it soooo easy! The plastic barrel feels nice in your hand. The nib has a bit of spring to it, and this is not something you will have to change. Simply unscrew the barrel to insert the ink cartridge. A cool trick is to have 2 pens and touch the nibs together in a certain way, creating an ombre transition to your writing! Each set includes a pen, cap, 2 color inks, and a tool (pipette) for cleaning out the pen before changing colors. I like how this inexpensive pen lets you transition from markers to metal nibs in an easy and inexpensive way. Perfect for students! Clear instructions are included and show all the moving parts, plus an alphabet you can imitate. Purchase ink refills and practice freely, plus you can play with mixing colors on your pages!~Sara
