Fine Pens

Let me share a recent gem that has completely won my heart: the world of fine pens. 🖊️💕 And guess what? I stumbled upon an absolute treasure trove at the fantastic online store, Temu! 🛍️✨

GuangNa Micron Graphic pen set.

Picture this: a set of twelve waterproof ink pens that make your creative dreams come true. 🎨✍️ Say hello to the GuangNa Micron Graphic pen set! These pens are more than just tools; they're companions for your artistic journey. Whether you're into intricate hatching, mesmerizing cross-hatching, or the delicate art of pointillism, these pens have your back. And that's not all – they play exceptionally well with watercolors too, without any annoying bleeding (trust me, I've tested it, as you can see in the video).

Nib Sizing

What's really fascinating is the range of nib sizes, a true spectrum of creative possibilities! 🌈 From 005 to 3, and even a brush nib to let your strokes flow freely. I'll admit, I encountered some different numbers than I'm used to, like 04, 07, 2 and 3 (vs. usual set: 005, 01, 02, 03, 05, 08 1 and br-brush). Oh, and that "1" stands for a 1mm nib thickness, while "05" translates to a charming 1/2mm. 

Waterproof as well!

Now, let's address the big question: waterproof, you say? I held my breath too, just like you might have. But guess what? These incredible pens stood up to the challenge! After a whole 24 hours, the ink remained steadfast next to watercolor, refusing to budge. 🌊💧 So, if you're giving it a whirl, like I did, I'd suggest letting the ink settle in for a bit. Patience pays off!

The price!

Are you ready for the cherry on top? Brace yourselves – this outstanding set of pens comes at a price that's practically a steal. 🤑🎉 At just $14.98, you're getting a bang for your buck that's 1/2 the usual cost! Yes, you read that right. You can thank Temu for this incredible deal.
