Beautiful photo!

As always, Liz, your writing is exquisitely beautiful though, on this occasion, my attention has been caught by the pen pouches. Where did you get them from? I am looking for something like that to keep pens in the front pocket of my man-bag ... oops, erm, I mean shipping-centre-survival-kit, not man-bag -- obviously.

 

Cheers,

David.

 

 

 

David - I made those pen pouches, I'm afraid.

I wish there were buttons to press "Like" on the posts (as is on Facebook), cause I really like so many of your posts.

 

Today at work, like so many other days, I use one of my frankenTWSBIs, the vac mini with a Swan nib. Ink: Iroshizuku grey "miscoloured" by KWZI azure blue

 

 

 

If there were a "like" button, I'd "like" your post a hundred times if I could. Your flex writing is absolutely gorgeous and full of character, and I really like the blue grey colour. Would definitely buy a bottle if it were available.

Beautifully "miscoloured" I might add . . .

Liz, that's just so unfair: one single solitary person with so many talents -- photography, calligraphy, art, and ... and now creative talents too. Please don't tell us that you make Lionel Messi look like a pub footballer -- I would cry!

 

Those pen pouches are beautiful. I have a single silky pen sleeve, with a sort of Chinese willow pattern, that formed part of the packaging when I bought a custom pen from John Twiss at a pen show. He commissioned a lady that worked in an adjacent studio to make them. Now that I think about it, I could get her contact details from John and ask her to make me a 6 pen pouch, maybe with something sturdy to make it a sort of fabric penvelope like the leather Franklin-Christof penvelope6. I want something to hold about 6 pens in the front pocket of my manb..., erm, shopping-centre-survival-kit. I must go and measure the front pocket of the SCSK.

 

Cheers,

David.

Beautiful, the pen, the ink, the nib, the shading, the writings! :-)

Today a wonderful, albeit poignant, collection of art started by Nicola Davies was brought to my attention via The Guardian newspaper here in the UK.

Our government recently voted against accepting 3000 unaccompanied child refugees from war torn Syria. Nicola wrote a poem about it and asked anyone who wanted, to draw, paint, photograph, whatever, a single chair.

 

I immediately fully charged my Visconti Homo Sapiens with my favourite sketching ink of the moment, KWZI Hunter Green and set about to contribute.

Here is a detail of the sketch before and after spritzing and the final submitted image.

Very nice! I'm thinking of getting one and junking the TWSBI 580AL blue. What size nib do you have there?

Desiderata Daedalus with Diamine Ancient Copper:

 

Gorgeous as always.

 

I picked up some Chesterfields Antique Copper, which I assume is Diamine Ancient Copper. I love the green edges that show up, especially when I'm using a dip pen. Mine looks a bit browner, not quite as red, but it may just be my monitor. I'm loving the ink, especially with a dip nib on cream paper. Do you like the Desiderata? I've thought about one, and to see if there are any of my other nibs that might fit. I have a couple lying around.

Wonderful work Tas, thank you for sharing.

Thanks! It's a very nice pen. Fine nib, and a rather wet one at that.

 

By the way, just as a side note, I think if I had it to do over, I would get the blue. I had the blue at one point, and it is a very attractive color. You can't really see much of the color of the ink in the clear one anyway, so I think maybe the blue or orange might be more interesting, but obviously that's a subjective matter.
