My ink bottle has arrived and what better use but to contribute to this thread?

 

On the other hand I have been learning copperplate script for the past couple of months ( and struggling with it as you can see ) but practice makes perfect.

 

The ink is just gorgeous and even my wife likes it.

 

From a poem by Luis de Camoes, a famous Portuguese poet.

 

Kind regards,

 

Rui

I love my letter carrier!

 

"I know I think

The love I have for you
Will never end (well maybe)
And so my love, I offer you
A love that is strong

A prune that is true."

My ink has shipped. I'm guessing it'll be here in about 5 to 10 days.

Tes rires retroussés comme à son bord la rose,


Effacent mon dépit de ta métamorphose;


Tu t'éveilles, alors le rêve est oublié.



-Jean Cocteau, from Plaint-Chant, 1923

My ink has shipped. I'm guessing it'll be here in about . . . halfway to FOREVER! I guess that is the price I pay for the price I paid. I went with the $23 no shipping fee option. Mt status is "Shipped" with the following message:

 

DELIVERY ESTIMATE: WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 2013 - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 2013 BY 8:00PM

 

In the meantime I have a sample I received from Liamtyr to get me through. I shall start a romantic letter soon. :)

My ink shipped and it will be just a couple of days shipping as I ordered from the evil empire themselves as opposed to some out-of-country side store. First thing I'm going to do it bathe in YB.

Please take a photo of the grape-y aftermath and show it to us here. Don't forget to wash your hair with it as well.

At the very worst I'll become Giuseppe with an offer of freshly made whine.

Beautiful. You've captured the true essence of the YB Club.

 

Thanks. My wife liked it, too.

Baby's bathtime fun. Notice how the YB took over the prime shampoo spot from the much revered Yarok.

Guess who E.B.B. is!

 

I believe the ink is Shah's Rose.

A lovely letter that would have been a sure prize winner had it mentioned blood.

 

Bloody hell! :P
