From Smash and Chuck

The spider sticker is fuzzy. The stripes are washi tape. The lettering must have been done with a scroll tip pen. I think the Pilot Parallel pens are available in scroll tips. As previously mentioned, I do not allow myself to be tempted by more parallel pens because they would be too much of a distraction. I do have one and the ink gives me fits.

Below is Chuck's envelope. He does all his stripes with an actual pen. Sometimes they are the oldie-but-goodie mechanical pens - Rapidiograph was one of the brand names.Very mesmerizing to make lots of little lines.

    The Pilot Parallel Pen ink is awful. During Reggie Ezell's 26 Seeds class, he mentioned he uses Moon Palace sumi ink in when he works with the parallel pen. I fill one of the barrels with Moon Palace and switch nibs. Oooh, now I want that scroll nib.

      Good to know it's not just me. I know a lot of people fill them with walnut ink. Plus, they assure me that they just fill the whole barrel - not a cartridge. That is something that I have not tried.
