My favorite children's song. Top half written with Pelikan Souveran M400 fine nib and Waterman Florida Blue. The bottom half was written with a Lamy Safari fine nib and J. Herbin Lierre Sauvage (green).

Nice to see I'm not the only one who likes to handwrite song lyrics.

 

Nicely done.

I have no experience with flexible nibs at all, but one of my medium nibbed pens has some flex to it so I decided to experiment, here's the rather clumsy result. My regular handwriting's at the bottom.

Thanks! I find it easier to pay attention to form if I'm not paying attention to content. So someone else's words are always better to write. Though, as you can see, I'm still working on the form

You and me both. Sometimes I fewel I have enough trouble just remembering my name let alone something interesting to write about, especially when practicing. One can only do figures and forms for so long.

Here is a pen riddle...........a competition years ago I think!

Some pens just demand to be shown off - this is my Parker Snr Mandarin with Mottishawed nib

We will work on our penmanship first...then we will let ourselves get creative! Best of luck!

Well, my first flexible nib arrived in the mail today, so I'm starting to learn Copperplate! Here's the result of this afternoon's efforts (and IAMPETH's tutorial videos over the weekend):

Thanks FPN!

I write differently every time I pick up a pen, it seems, or every time I change inks, sometimes automatically, sometimes on purpose. This is from last night.

 

The brown ink is PR Fiesta Red + Lamy Black. The paper is a very old engineering notebook.

Anna, I really admire both of your styles; flex or no flex! I especially like the shading of the ink in your regular handwriting sample - would you mind sharing what sort of ink you were using? Thanks!

Thank you :embarrassed_smile: The bottom sample is written in Waterman Havana Brown with a Pelikan M200 (OB nib). Here's another sample with the same pen/ink combination. Unfortunately my Greek is rather less elegant but as I started writing I was amazed I still knew this by heart...

I want the Waterman and the handwriting...I will send my address! Very nice, Leo....where is that great example with the flourishes in it about New Year's?

That looks great...I think you have some natural talent there!

Thank you ! I'm hoping to develop it. I think I need to try and find the right pace when writing with a flexible nib and work on getting a more regular style. It's an adjustment from using a non-flexible nib but I'm enjoying that. I also got an italic / calligraphy nib recently which I'm planning to experiment with.
