Wooden Stick Pen Tutorial

Check out my latest writing instruments. They are sticks wrapped with faux-suede.

It's a method that many lettering artists use and I finally decided to give it a try. All you need to do is to cut a piece of suede or faux-suede and wrap it on the tip of a flat wooden stick with a bit of craft wire.

This is how it looks from the side.

Dip the stick into ink and start writing. Here I used my favorite blue-black noodlers ink with a wide stick.

And here I used the same ink with a narrower coffee stir stick.

Oh the possibilities.

Happy mark-making. :)
