I love brush lettering it is so beautiful and there is so much inspiration on Pinterest. It makes me want to practise more and buy all the different coloured brush pens that I can, yes that is the slight stationery addict within me saying this haha! I was contacted by the lovely sisters at Keikaimono about collaborating with them on their brush pens and I was so excited. Stationery is a big passion of mine and I could try new coloured brush pens yayy!
Keikaimono is a sister owned stationery business that provides cute stationery. The name comes from sisters Krissia (Key) and Kayla (Kai) and mono means things in Japanese. They are based in Seattle WA.
Cute stationeries allowed them to explore their creativity deeper and use that inspiration for business ideas. Their hope is to lift artists’ spirits and create a variety of stationery and help you find your inner passion.
I was kindly gifted the colorful brush pen set and these are going to be perfect to help me improve my brush lettering. I have been practising my brush lettering and writing some great quotes you can see here. So these pens are going to be the perfect addition to my pen collection.
The set comes with 10 different colours: Black / Red / Pink / Light Blue / Blue / Golden Red / Green / Blue Black / Orange and Violet. It has such a fantastic range of colours to brighten any page I am designing on.
The colours are vibrant and beautiful The pens are light and easy to use which is so important when writing calligraphy and brush lettering, you need to be able to move the pen fluidly. I couldn’t wait to try them, so I started designing straight away! I used one of my Rachael Hope’s notebooks if you would like to see this notebook and the others, you can see my post here.
I tested all the colours with different lettering styles. The ink holds very well.
They were so much fun to use and have brightened up the inside of my notebook. I am looking forward to using them more, especially in my scrapbook.
You can find Keikaimono on Twitter and on Instagram. You should check out their cute range of stationery and they are a great addition to any stationery lovers social media feeds! Their Instagram is full of bullet journal inspiration too.
Have you ever used brush pens or tried calligraphy before? Have you brought any Keikaimono products before? I’d love to hear in the comments.
These look cute! What is the difference between brush lettering pens and sort of usual felt tips? Are they easier to control when writing? x

It’s the tips, as you see in these they are long and go to a point where else felt tips, have normal chunky or fine line tips. These pens are easy to control because they are so light weight x

These pens look great. Love the colors. I have never used brush pens before, but I would love to. I did try calligraphy when I was younger, however, I never really stuck with it though I wish I had. Maybe I will grab a set of brush pens soon and give it another try. Will be fun to try, plus give me something to do with all of the notebooks that I have.

These look great, especially the colors. I’ve used Tombow markers and the traditional nib and ink. But in honesty I realized it takes so much practice. Could I ask you a favor? I’ve been loading my watercolor illustrations in my fairly new Etsy shop and I was wondering if they were the type of clipart that scrapbookers would use? https://www.etsy.com/shop/eileenmckennaart I would appreciate your input so much!

As soon as I saw this post I thought “Flora would love these pens!” She’s definitely the artistic member of the family, which she hasn’t inherited from me, haha. The colours look beautifully vibrant and clean on the paper. Calligraphy is hard, I had to try some recently for a Shakespeare-related post and it took SOOOOOOO much practice. Massive kudos to you for making such a lovely job, Lauren! Lisa xxx
