The packaging for this calligraphy kit is beautiful, as are the instructions and penmanship booklet inside. I have two quibbles though:1. The nib of the pen was completely bent out of shape when it arrived. It looked like a tiny pair of scissors. I had to spend a lot of time correcting the alignment with a pair of tweezers and this was kind of frustrating considering the price point.2. The ink provided bleeds when used on the practice booklet. (See the first picture) Seriously, you had one job. Not only that, the ink seeps through to the other side, effectively ruining any chances of you practising on that side. (See the second picture). The paper in the booklet doesn't feel thin or cheap at all, but the ink managed to seep through anyway.Unfortunately all the other calligraphy kits in the market have terrible design and are not very gifty, so if you do purchase this, be prepared to purchase a few more nibs. Photocopying the pages of the penmanship book is also a good idea for one to get more practice in since there are only two rows allocated for practicing each letter of the alphabet in the book and the ink seeps right through the paper.
I would have paid this much JUST for the enclosed book! It is so clear, well written and full of inspiration. This kit would also make an excellent gift for any lettering lover. I am so happy I have one!
I was very excited to purchase this product. It is a cute little starter kit and would also be great as a gift to a craft-y friend. The only drawback was the ink jar leaked. I'll either return or ask for an exchange
This little kit is just wonderful! It contains all the supplies to begin learning and doing calligraphy. I have been practicing daily and find it so relaxing. It is so great to be able to get everything you need for calligraphy in one little package. Truly 5 stars!
This is my second Maybelle kit. I got the first one through her Etsy store. This one is a gift for my daughter-in -law. Beautiful packaging, excellent product.
As other reviewers have stated, the packaging is very nice as is the booklet inside with instructions. However, the ink that I received must be very old as it is quite dried up. I had to shake it up very well and it still does not seem to be working well. The nib also is not great. Overall, the kit is okay but I will just continue watching youtube videos and will have to go purchase new ink/nibs elsewhere. I do not think this was worth the money.
Disappointed that the pen nib was broken when the kit arrived. Not a good beginning but as noted by others, the packaging is pretty and the little booklet has some interesting ideas. A nice gift for a beginner - as long as you provide a better pen.
Nice product, I wish it had more practice papers and more types of letters to learn but for a starter kit does what its supposed to.
