Qotw - 2017

[Andreas Weber]

I am really sorry, a big mistake in Isaac spelling..I apologize.

 

Hey, did you notice how often "Gandhi" was spelled with the "h" in the right place for the previous quote?

Lots of problems (especially the engrossers' - just started) and a nervous first calligraphic offering to this forum...

 

 

MacNiven & Cameron's Cameron, eyedropper, BCHR, lovely pen but there's nothing out there online about it - maybe from 19-teens, just trying it out.

 

And Manuscript Dodec F (red), and No Nonsense F:

P.S. I continue to admire your pens as well as your penmanship!

MercianScribe,

wow, these are impressive samples! Great work in engrosser's and the last script with the No Nonsense pen. If these are your first submissions, the ones at the end of 2017 are going to be spectacular.

 

Sagar, the letterforms in that copperplate in walnut ink are so impressive. Your practice is showing!

I believe that it's my turn.

 

Here's a quote for the coming week.

 

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself, less.

Superb!!! I really don't understand how do you write each and every word so uniformly Ken?

By the way, may I know Whose lines are these?

@Sagarb:

 

This quote is often mis-attributed to C.S. Lewis, who in “Mere Christianity” wrote: “A really humble man... will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking about himself at all”.

 

In reality the quote comes from “The Purpose-Driven Life” by Rick Warren.

@sagarb @ksm

 

This has been a favourite quote of mine for some time, with its strong message and clever use of language, and I've often wondered where it came from. So thank you ksm! I can now give credit to Rick Warren.

I did a quick Google search, and it appears this is a quote attributed to Rick Warren.

This is one of my favourite Uncial variations. It was written with a Rotring ArtPen filled with Parker Quink ink.

Excellent Engrosser's script, Sagar.

 

Here's an example in English Roundhand (Copperplate). It's really interesting to see the two scripts togerher as they are often confused but are, in fact, quite different.
