Preaching To The Choir

[FountainPages]

I just received three pens back from Pendleton Brown...they are now the loveliest, most fun writers I own. I would not think twice to have any pen reworked by Mr. Brown. He should be declared a national treasure of nib culture. For anyone interested, I sent him a Pelikan Souveran M605, Lamy 2000, and a Graf von Faber-Castell Intuition. Just sayin...

Pendleton's my favorite nibmeister!!!

I really like my Rosetta 'Magellan' with the Pendleton stub. Smooth performance and it adds some character to my mundane penmanship.

Any pictures? Would love to see some.

I don't normally like EF nibs. But I picked up a Parker 51 Aero with an EF nib from him a couple of years ago at the Ohio Pen Show and I could not believe how smooth that nib is.

Bought the pen for my husband (the BIC fine Philistine) to try him out with FPs -- but if he does something like leave the cap off and let the pen dry out, I'm staging an intervention....

I think nib work is actually a form of miniaturized sculpture. There are artists who must confine themselves to abstractions, artists who can do a reasonable likeness, and artists who create fine art.

No pictures just yet, I'm just getting used to them. As I am a left-handed side push writer, it may take a while.

Yes indeed & a mighty fine choir it is! After receiving my first Kwizi order I decided to celebrate by buying the SECOND fountain pen yesterday.............and as I "pushed that PAY NOW button".............I surely HEARD that choir! (I think you have to just be in the "right frame of mind" to fully "tune in!"

A few hours just sitting with PB at his table is worth the admission for the show.

 

I don't know if he does it for other shows but he usually is at a pen meet n eat the Saturday evening of the

Atlanta show.

 

[EDIT] RiffRaff in the Rocky Horror Picture show <play>, a youth pastor and nibmeister. Ya gotta love him.

He did RIFF RAFF? The mind boggles.... Although when I bought the 51 with the EF nib from him he was saying something about doing an upcoming production of A Christmas Carol.

Of course, I did see Russell Crowe on The Tonight Show a few years ago and they had dug up footage of *him* playing Eddie, in a production Rocky Horror in New Zealand back in the 1980s....
