Antonios,

 

Simply gorgeous work... if you want to call it that.

 

Those vintage Waterman nibs are simply incredible aren't they?

 

Cheers!

Very nice, Antonios.

Thanks Keith, and THANK YOU JAMES.

 

James it is a humbling experience to share space with your exemplars.

I hope that you overcome your health problems and keep showing us what a real caligrapher can produce.

 

Keith I noticed a very nice sample of yours around - Even if it was not very visible I could see a very nice writing character. Please show us more.

You are most welcome, Antonios. I too noticed Keith's exemplar -- it was very nice indeed.

I don't go for flexible nibs or looped styles, buit Antonios has done a great job with his nib and style!

Hi Kate,

 

Since many of us are posting samples of their hands here (I wonder who started it all ), it would be a great idea if you could comment on areas where legibility can be improved. And to which section of your book should we make reference. I know my regular cursive needs a lot of work or repair

[James Pickering]

Very nice, Antonios.

Antonios:

 

Where are you with your superb Copperplate handwriting?

 

More exemplars, please!

Antonios,

 

You have reason to be proud. Wonderful!

 

Though I'm not normally a big fan of pink, I love these pens. I have one, which is out on loan.

 

I'm sorry we missed one another at the Philadelphia Pen club meeting, when I would have liked to compare various nibs.

Antonios:

 

Thank you for the lovely sample. I fear that if I wrote with anything more flexible than a nib which resembles a 10d nail the result would be (a) a very sprung nib; ( a very unhappy me; and © a huge blot on the paper. This is why a have a great deal of respect for you and the others who can do such delicious writing with a flex nib.

 

Thank you also for the links below your signature. Very interesting ... indeed!

 

By the way: for duffers like me, What is a "pink" nib?

[Ondina]

Very nice, proves that pink nibs do need wise hands!.
