Christmas Gift from Santa Clare

This is a post I forgot to include for 2017.

The day after Christmas I received a gift from my friend and sister who resides in the UK.  It's called the Cuttlelola which is a motorized stippling pen run off of rechargeable batteries.


My dear friend, Clare, challenged me to work a sketch using this pen before the end of the year.  In selecting a subject, I chose to do some zen doodling but with the stippling technique instead of marker pens.  I had so much fun that I ended up doing two right away.




Then she challenged me to do another but adding color to it.




There are two speeds to the pen and I found I had better control and felt less vibration in my hand using the slower speed.  What would take hours to complete doing this by hand didn't take long at all with this pen.  I love stippling anyways as I find it relaxing and this pen just makes it plain fun.......lol

I have never ever herd of such a thing before. Wow and double wow.
Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see a demo in person.

This pen IS neat and fun. If working for any length of time, my hand gets fatigued from the vibration but definitely fun filling in large areas. Then I can use a fountain pen for more control taking it nice and slow :-)
