"blue pumpkin"
if you want to try a bunch of nibs, this is a great starter pack of 12!
I usually get my nibs from paperinkarts.com but you can find them at Dick Blick and on Amazon too!
Links to Amazon are below.
And here is an even larger pack of 25!
This was the set I got when I first started out :)
PAINT PENS
These are the pens I use for all of my signage. You can find them on Amazon, craft stores, and at Walmart (Sharpies only). I use the oil based Sharpies with the pink stripe, not the water based pens with a blue stripe or the "Sharpie Paint" pens. Each color comes in extra fine point, fine point, medium point, and even larger for different sized projects. I use PenTouch for metallic!
