The finest tip is .25. But I can get a really fine line with a .3 as well. The type of paper will make difference and I can only make the super fine lines if I am moving the pen really fast, so that it hardly touches the paper. It takes a fair amount of practice to get the fine lines out of those pens, but if you practice on things like flowers, leaves or peacock feathers, you can get the hang of it. A very quick flicking motion on shorter strokes is a good place to start. Eventually, you can work up to longer strokes and lettering.Ellen & Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05274590400965670282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9190979569332239219.post-48110130758431397202015-08-02T21:13:35.928-05:002015-08-02T21:13:35.928-05:00I signed up.

And I adored the much anticipated peacock envelope- what pen(s) did you use? I have never seen a pen that made such fine strokes!carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551031050575078402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9190979569332239219.post-25613191872470741252015-08-02T05:22:03.709-05:002015-08-02T05:22:03.709-05:00i forgot to comment on the envelope. it was in a p...i forgot to comment on the envelope. it was in a pile of unfinished experiments and it would have looked better with 3 fern stamps, but, as you know, i have trouble parting with stamps. jean wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10380435791596841268noreply@blogger.com
