Fun with a Ruling Pen


I recently bought this magnificent new calligraphy tool called the Ruling Pen, made by the Pen Artisan. I love the splatter at the beginning of the A and the swift fat strokes and thin slices of ink I'm able to accomplish with this pen. You can adjust the width between the two plates with a screw, which makes the hairlines thicker or thinner, depending on what you want. It's a delicious tool that I highly recommend getting.
