This is the set for someone who has been meaning to start and has not yet worked out what to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSepia is the right first ink. Black looks severe on cream paper and blue looks like a bank form, but sepia settles into a warm brown as it dries and makes ordinary handwriting look considered. It is also the ink that photographs well, if what you are writing is going somewhere other than a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Are Getting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA marbled wood pen with a removable nib, a jar of sepia ink, and spare nibs. It comes boxed with a hard cover, so it does not need wrapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dip pen is not a fountain pen. There is no cartridge and no reservoir. You dip, you write four or five words, you dip again. That rhythm is the whole appeal for some people and the whole problem for others, so it is worth knowing which you are before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse It For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrimoire pages, letters, sigil work, spell petitions, and anything you want to still be legible in twenty years. Dip pen ink bonds into the paper fibers rather than resting on them, which is why documents written this way are still readable centuries later and why the writing cannot be lifted back off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePair It With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA book to fill: the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildravensnest.com\/products\/embossed-pink-pentacle-blank-leather-journal-5-x-7-in\"\u003eEmbossed Pink Pentacle Leather Journal\u003c\/a\u003e.
