When I start a new-to-me form of art, I start with basic supplies first. Then, when I feel this form of art is a match, and I want to continue and grow with it, my supplies become more enhanced and professional.
Micron pens are great for zentangling and doodling, but my eye caught a small company based in the UK, Tom's Studio, and the reviews were great, so I went ahead and ordered pens (2) and inks (3). I purchased the Wren because it is practical for traveling.
What is so nice about these pens? I'm glad you asked!
The Wren Pen. Right out of the box, they feel perfect weight wise. When closed, they are the perfect size for traveling. Opened up the part with the nib fits perfect between my thumb and pointy finger, and rests gently on my middle finger. It is easy to slide and secure the nib half into the sleeve due to the two rubber sliders embedded towards the bottom of the nib half. I purposely picked different colors for my pens, one that will only use black ink, and the other I'll use to change inks. Change inks? I'm glad you asked again!
Inks. The Wren Pen has a removable nib and ink reservoir. The nibs draw the ink from the ink reservoir. When I want to change the ink color, I simply remove the nib and the reservoir and place them in a reservoir and tip container. I can then insert a new nib and reservoir, let it soak up a different color ink (which takes mere seconds), and I am ready with another color! The inks are water-based, and any water-based ink will work with this pen.
So far, so good! I can't wait to start using my Wren pens!
