DUDE!!!

 

Tell me you do this for a living.... your penmanship is too gorgeous to not get paid for it...

 

I climb telephone poles for a living. I play with pens for fun.

Writing an InCoWriMo letter with a Taccia Savanna and Scabiosa on Neenah Classic Laid Millstone paper ( I do not reccomend this paper. It bleeds too much with non iron gall inks. I prefer G. Lalo Verge De Fance laid paper. But this was cheap and I wanted to try something differnet so what the heck, it does have a cool color and texture. )

 

When I see these posts I am getting so depressed.....

And awed...

 

But don't stop, it's worth some depression...

00Photo: I like the letterhead on your Neenah Classic Laid - what is the design, and did you buy it or have it printed up? Very "rich" looking.

The letterhead is my design for a fictitious secret society of elite fountain pen illuminati called:

 

The Inkluminati.

Great letterhead! Did you print them yourself or send the design off somewhere for that?

Oh boy, what a gorgeous pen, Holly!

 

Ink is Montblanc Burgundy.

 

You got me at "fattest nib ever", and as a result of this beauteous demonstration, I may or may not (okay, so I have) got a similar nib in a Chartres edition waiting for me to reach 200 days of uninterrupted labouring in the vineyard of learning the French language. Of course I had to make sure it worked first, before putting it away for a month (A month?! I'm mad) and Whoo, yes, it's a veritable paintbrush. I had thought to stub it, but really not sure I'll want to now.

 

Anyway, towards the extreme other end of the nib spectrum, I'm looking forward to taking the new Lamy for an extended run. I was going to be good and wait for a while, but when I saw TWD had it in stock it seemed my fingers ordered it before my brain could shake its finger at me and tut-tut. Oh dear.

 

 

Cheers, Al

Writing with a Pelikan M400 white tortoise today. It was purchased on eBay used and marked as having a broad nib. I'm not a huge fan of broad nibs but it was so cheap that I decided to get it anyways and maybe send it to a nibmeister down the road to turn it into a stub. To my shock and surprise the nib wasn't a broad at all. It was a stub! So now I'm even more thrilled. I took a close up picture to confirm my observations when I wrote with it.
