I like very much your handwriting (and of course all those Sheaffers from your posts as well)

 

Saludos,

Thank you, my friend!

Maybe I should try this ink. Your samples look so tempting... An interesting nib, btw.

 

I am sure you will like the ink.

 

I am not too sure the nib can be described as pretty, but the design really works when in use.

 

I'm getting all my past due uploading done.

Thanks! "Sublime" really describes the writing experience with the nib.

I'm using a Gama Skyline.

This is such awesome work! And the pen looks amazing, every bit as good as its hand-made counterparts from mainstream brands.

 

Today, I am writing with a Sheaffer Balance, a vacuum filler with a smooth, springy XF nib. The ink is Sailor Kobe Old Foreigner Ward Sepia. The phrase comes from an old penmanship book.

Me too, beautiful sketch Flummoxed.

 

Parker, eh? I had one close to hand this weekend... we took the grandsons to play soccer at a local park and I did a quick sketch when I got home to remember the morning.

Fantastic Spencerian handwriting! You're so versatile, easily switching among styles, and your pens are amazing writers. I always look forward to seeing more of your posts.

The 45 is one of my favorite pens. Yours looks awesome! And a great sketch, too.

 

Today, I was writing with a Parker Vacumatic.

Gorgeous writing!

[akustyk]

 

Beautiful pen and excellent cursive!

 

Today, I am writing with a Parker 51 Vacumatic, with a fat Medium nib. Not my preferred nib width, but can't help but smile when it touches the paper

The little birdie that I had been waiting for has landed home a couple of weeks ago! I had not-so-good experience with factory Italic nib (I think it was an IM nib) on an M200 pen, so I wasn't expecting too much with this IB nib, but it was a pleasant surprise that it has great thin/broad line variation and the "thin" is actually satisfyingly thin, although not very crisp at the corners. So it is a regular italic, and not a stub or crisp italic. Just right I would say!

 

 

 

Pen: Pelikan M400 Brown Tortoiseshell with IB nib

Ink: Rubinato Sepia mixed with a tiny bit of Aurora Black

Paper: Tomoe River (White)

TheRealMikeDr........loving your Watermans, the hemisphere is a lovely bloo.

 

skysora......congrats on your TWSBI, it's all looking very good.

 

SNAK ..........The Pen, the ink, the Nib (gorgeous), and the writing, all look magical in your hand, and I'm suitably impressed with the "lugs" bottle. Well cool, and it reminds me of a pal from school

 

Not particularly a fan of green, pens or ink, but hey, they say variety is the spice of life...so why not.

And, I do like the way Sherwood green shades even with finer nibs.

The pen is kinda green, well it's a greeny, greyish, blacky, marbly type affair, so maybe I am a green person.........OK maybe not!

Congratulations on the pen. But, you MUST be much more specific about your ink mix. It's glorious.

 

 

Congratulations on your pen too . . . it must be at least a couple of weeks since I praised your handwriting.

So loose, so free, so readable
