I guess you have to get the right consistency.<br />The dip pen is a type of pen where you can use calligraphy nibs or drawing nibs. The one I use is a Hunt 512 drawing nib, not to flexible and with a "round" point so it can be moved in any direction. <br />For my colored pebbles I used India ink markers.<br />I have no idea how many mandalas with a bottle but many, many, many. I have used less than two 1oz bottles 1 since 2011.<br />MagaMerlinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402254362520365411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315257646233784836.post-15882393908043348932015-01-20T23:48:01.342+13:002015-01-20T23:48:01.342+13:00one more question (sorry), how many mandalas can y...one more question (sorry), how many mandalas can you do with one bottle of acrylic ink?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315257646233784836.post-45452807889062996142015-01-20T23:43:58.006+13:002015-01-20T23:43:58.006+13:00Wow, i really love your work!

My dip pen is a custom made wooden nib holder made by a New Zealand woodturner, with a Speedball Hunt 512 nib and the ink is Daler-Rowney FW Acrylic Ink. New nibs usually have a coating to prevent them from rusting, you have to soak them in very hot/ boiling water to remove it before using it or they won't work properly, try that before buying another one :)MagaMerlinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402254362520365411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315257646233784836.post-28521370334590681222014-10-07T04:20:16.716+13:002014-10-07T04:20:16.716+13:00Hi this is impressive.
