The official ‘Coronation Roll’ of King Charles III
Mercian posted a topic in Calligraphy Discussions
Today I saw an article on the BBC News website about the completion of the official ‘Coronation Roll’ of King Charles III. It is a handwritten scroll that records all the events of His Majesty’s Coronation. These have been prepared for the Coronation of every English monarch since the coronatio... -

I recently acquired a bottle of Diamine's gold Drawing & Calligraphy Ink (acrylic base) and a bottle of Dominant Industry's Hologram (unknown base but smells a lot like Testor's enamel paint). I am hoping to inspire (in myself) more dedicated calligraphy practice and give myself a chance to increase...

From the album: Mercian’s Miscellany
This is the Press Association’s photo of the header page for the ‘Coronation Roll’ of King Charles III. The document is an official record of the proceedings of his coronation - who was there, who did what, of the various oaths that were sworn, and by whom they were sworn. These rec...© Press Association

A self-correction note: the horizontal strokes are a little unevenly spaced in 首 in the regular script, and perhaps the 辶 shouldn't be touching the 首; not the easiest character to write. In hindsight I really should be practising the characters on a spare sheet of paper before writing this in my jou...

Pen: Kuretake Fountain Brush Pen, Model No. 50 Paper: Hobonichi Original TR Ink: Pigment ink cartridge that came with the pen, Kuretake-branded A first test. The ink began almost immediately (there's no feed like in fountain pens to go through, I suppose). Initially, the ink ap...

I just found this mini-documentary on YouTube and found it fascinating so I thought I'd share it.

I was hoping to show you a picture of this new, very sleek looking pen, but it seems that's not an option right now. Lightly brushed, matte back body, gloss, transparent red section and ink window, designed around the Zebra G flex nib with a purpose-designed ebonite feed, but can take any screw-in...

I recently spent a few hours working on my good ole' ebonite Noodlers Konrad. I hadn't used this pen for quite a while and wanted to spice things up a bit. The changes I made (and highly recommend) are as follows: 1) the "easy my flex" mod, were you grind a portion off the sides of the nib as seen...

Hi, I just posted a new YouTube review of the Pumix Calligraphy Fountain Pen Set. I don't think it is as good as the Lamy set, but it is cool that you can put the nibs they give you onto other Pilot pens and also the Wing Sung 3013. It is quite affordable and it is a good way to get it...

Informal Review - Speedball Auto Level Filler - Nib Pen
amberleadavis posted a topic in Fountain Pen Reviews
Decades ago (at least 3), my beloved step-monster purchased this pen for me at an antique show. I didn't know how to make it work or what was wrong with it (if anything). When I went on an excursion into my caboose (Union Pacific 1952), I found several of these pens in my desk. I brought them to the...

The third edition of Jaki Svaren's classic calligraphy and paleography book has just been released. This edition is very similar to the long-out-of-print second edition with some improvements in design. It is slightly larger in format, including the handwritten text, and it is spiral-bound, so it li...

The Philosophy Of Spencerian Script?
thesmellofdustafterrain posted a topic in Pointed Pen Calligraphy
When I was choosing a script to learn, I was interested in Spencerian because of the philosophy behind it. Articles talk about how the shapes were based on nature and mention that learning the philosophy was an important element to learning the script. However, there isn't much mention of this in... -

I'm in my 40s and am an artist wanting to learn calligraphy. I'm particularly interested in Copperplate. A recurrent issue is that I have a weird pen grip -- index and middle finger on the pen and thumb high -- a lateral quadrupod, from what I've been able to discover online. While I'm sure there ar...

Does anyone know what happened to the Montblanc Calligraphy ink - red version? I've seen a few photos. I've seen listings at stores that were then taken down. I've seen no writing samples, no one saying they have purchased it. Was this ink ever actually released? Does it exist?

What does calligraphy do? Rounds the letters and make them flourish, engrosses the strokes here and there and transforms the words into painted shapes… It charms the eye. I wrote the first sheet with the Montblanc 149 Calligraphy and the Black Permanent ink that I have been using for a year in...
