Qotw - 2017

[Sagarb]

Sagar, that foundational is looking very crisp, and the Spencerian looks so fluent and effortless -- though I know it isn't.

 

Ken, it's a shame about Photobucket. I use Flickr, which is still free. I rarely use it to host images here on FPN. I just tried it with this image, and it seems to work. You obtain the BBcode of the specific image you want to place here on FPN, and then just copy the BBcode and paste it here.

 

a beautiful pen Bob..customized?

What to say Ken!!! Your uniformity of letter sizes,space between two letters or words, alignment is just unbelievable...

Nice one David. I have an idea for a composition that will work nicely with this quotation. I am looking forward to playing with this.

Andrew,

The way you're creating depth in your photographs of a two-dimensional subject is impressive. Also, I love the majuscule O in Ortolani.

 

 

This is written with an Airmail Wality 71j pen, fitted with an FPR flex nib, modified with a vent hole for additional flex. Tests of this experiment are here, in test no. 3.

Thank you very much guys! It's nice that someone likes it.

This, too, is written by a modified nib for most flexibility (Noodlers flex).

Inspired by your encouragement, I improved the quote in English a little

The same pen, the same nib.
