Different Colors of Calligraphy Ink
Hi this is Brenda and we are continuing with our calligraphy lesson. Let’s say for instance we are tired of the black ink and want to change over to one of our colored cartridges here in our box that came with our set. Perhaps for a holiday you would like to use red. All you have to do is just unscrew the top here. You will notice we are almost low anyway on our black ink from our project we did previously so we just gently remove this cartridge. Like I said earlier this can get messy sometimes so you may want to have a little cloth handy. What I usually do is just drop in my new ink. This is a red color. Just drop it down into the cylinder. We just screw this on like this and as we are screwing it actually will puncture the cartridge here and you are ready to go with your red ink. Now we have some other colors here that came in our set. You can get these sets at stationary stores or some discount stores and it is a lot of fun to play around with a different coloring. This set actually has black, blue, green and red. It has several nibs so that you can use for different size lettering if you want to draw smaller and you got this smaller nibs and it has of course the pad with it and booklet so this set is all you need to do to begin your project.
