Welcome to the BEST place in the world to learn and be inspired. I am new to pen making myself and can tell you that the best place to hang out is in the library. Read the articles, watch the videos and then read them all again. Keep reading the forums and watching what the masters post when they show off thier pens. I am not saying copy them, but be inspired by thier beauty and inovation and it will send you out on a voyage of your own discovery.
