Dip pens!

 

Those are pretty, can you show us what you do with them?

 

 

I didn't take so many photos, but I'm just tinkering with them, writing nonsense, trying different inks.

I've got to practice getting my pen+writing sample photos up to snuff with the rest of the ones on here, but until then here are two separate images. This pen is functioning as my desk pen so I am using it a lot on the weekends while my Falcon and 78g take a break from the school week. They don't seem to mind the rest and Mr. Ranga enjoys our weekend projects.

Happy writing, everyone.

I'm diggin that uppercase "A".

Manny, you havin' problems with pen rotation? I have 11 12 pens inked now, not counting the two that ran dry this morning.

 

This little Sailor is definitely going to see some use:

 

 

I can't compete with those lovely three-tine music nibs being strutted out by Wendi and Chris - wow! Those are great nibs on fantastic pens!

 

Rev., how 'bout my conspicuous use of blue black ink - do you like?

 

tomgartin, I really like the shape of the barrel and section on your Ranga pen; it looks like a nice pen to write with.

Manny, you havin' problems with pen rotation?

Not after today!!

I'm diggin that uppercase "A".

Thanks! I learned this type of cursive in first grade, but later hybridized my letters when writing in other languages, esp. Russian and English:

Polish Cursive

I am sorry this image is so blurry - poor photography skills.

I love this post but do not rotate my pens enough to make an interesting poster.

These are awesome samples! I particularly like the last, the P51 with a custom nib. I've been thinking about something like that for a while, but I am afraid that I might not know how to write with a stub/italic. Do you have any recommendations for a first-time stub? Thanks!

My to do list in my professional journal, as I sit here at the kitchen counter this morning. Esterbrook Copper J, 2314-M medium stub nib, Quink Blue.
