Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful packaging

I was very pleased with this pen and ink set and some of my expectations were met. If you buy the set I provide, it will contain 12 inks, 2 nice glass pens, a stand and some glass. Well, as nice as it looks, there's a problem; complete lack of guidance. This makes it difficult to use for the newbie that I am. Some of the pros and cons are listed below: Pros: - Nice set and you get a lot for your money. - 2 pens - Pen holder - Easy to clean, much better than traditional ink pens. Cons: - Ink comes with rubber stopper (pictured), and they are difficult and messy to remove - Total lack of instructions - To get that beautiful golden glow moving in the ink you have to shake the vial which will spread the ink everywhere (you have to remove the stopper beforehand because if you shake it and trying to remove it, the glitter will settle to the bottom before you can use it) - be sure to hold the handle at a 45 degree angle. at an angle so it works well and doesn't drip. If you deviate from this, a nice spot will appear on the paper in the color of your chosen ink. All in all a decent set. Would I buy it again? Probably no. will i return it Also no. I'll try to make this work and if I can't I just know that I should stay away from such things. I will definitely not use it for calligraphy or letter writing as it gets dirty and clean letters cannot be made.
