Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us! - 2015-Ii

I love that Ink...

 

Me too

To attract the most attention, I'd just put the question in the "Fountain & Dip Pen - First Stop" thread . If it's specifically calligraphy related, there is a somewhat neglected forum for Calligraphy Discussions or the more specific Pointed Pen Calligraphy or Broad Pen Calligraphy forums.

 

If it's really esoteric, some of us are also members over in the Flourish Forum, another site where the true deities of the dip pen hang out. (though some occasionally appear here, like Ken Fraser) Compared to the real gods of dip-nibs, most of us are so far from deities we're not even ranked as novitiates yet. We're still sweeping the floors. (to give you an idea of what's possible when you're a deity, here's a picture Ken recently posted on the The Flourish Forum where he explained that he wrote the E and the R in one "continuous, single, downward stroke.")

 

Thanks for that AAAndrew. I'll post a broadside on the First Stop thread. --h

Snak: Thanks for the great photos and description of what the "L" in a BL or BBL nib means, with the writing examples. There is always something new to learn here!

Odd that many people don't seem to like that ink.

I have, and enjoy using mine.

Really is an ink a lot of personality.

 

Difficult to use in a professional environment but it has a beautiful shine.

Don't go on YouTube and watch the man in Firenze filling this pen with the mosquito filler. That's what I did when I was in the same room with my credit card and, uh, there went some serious cash.

This is the Paper Republic notebook Grand Voyageur [xl] made in Vienna. Stunning.

 

I had been eyeing the cool blue Starwalker upon its release but when I saw it in person : wow. The blue is complex and lovely ( sounds like I'm describing a wine ) and such a smooth nib. I don't typically post but I like the way the cap screws onto the back. Perfectly balanced too.
