One Project Finished Time To Start Another
peterjupton posted a topic in Paper and Pen Paraphernalia
Just finished my first pass working on the writing slope that my wife got me for Christmas replaced the badly worn leather surface with new blue felt In the future I want to do something with the space at the top of the slope to better use it and I would like to find a key to fit it. So on to my next project I inherited this old water colour box and plan to turn into a ten slot pen box I haven't desided what to do with the draw as it is too shallow for pens. The conversion will involve making a liner with pen slots in it I have 2 questions about the slots should the dividers between slots be triangular in profie or curved inward or out. And should the slots have a flat bottom or should the profile of the deviders meet in the middle By way of an example like this \_/ or like this \/ All ideas and opinions great fully recived.

Quick question... does anyone advocate using a writing slope anymore? Is it practical? I found someone that sells restored antique writing slopes, for what "seems" a decent price (to me anyways, but I'm not an expert...) but just curious if it's worth it?? It's not chump change, so I don't want to spend the money only to find out nobody uses them anymore...? (Also - side question - is there a search function within these forums? I spent 5 minutes looking for one, but my lunch hour is almost over, so couldn't wait any longer... sorry if this question is a repeat topic or something!)

Writing Looks Tentative And Slope Difficulties.
New_Falcon posted a topic in Handwriting & Handwriting Improvement
Hello All, I've been trying to work on my handwriting and though not going for a particular, style I'm trying to achieve something that looks confident yet considered and doesn't look like it's written by a 10 year old. I'm finding it difficult to get a look of confidence in my writing and it looks tentative to me. I'm also having difficulty with the slope, I'm a left handed underwriter and the page is almost 90 to my body and so cannot use the right handed technique of angling the paper and then writing vertically to get a consistent slope. The attached is an example of my everyday slightly slower than normal writing. I'd value your suggestions on the way forward.

I'm right-handed when it comes to writing things down, but I've recently (past six months) noticed that my handwriting slopes to the left. It might be because of Bliblical Hebrew studies (probably not) but I can't imagine why it would have carried over into my normal handwriting. If I make the effort to slant to the right, I immediately fall into a faux-Copperplate style. Any other right-handers out there who write with a left-side slant? http://oi42.tinypic.com/5uerm9.jpg
