Hi Folks

 

I'm looking to improve my signature and want to create a flourishing capital N & H which are the letters that start my forename and surname.

 

Wonder if any of you kind folks could give me some examples? :notworthy1:

 

Kind regards

Nigel

I love that H, but I really need a capitalised N, that H is a contender.

 

Thanks ever so much for your examples :notworthy1:

That IS my captial N :headsmack: but I didn't like it either. I'll try to do the other kind that looks more like a captial.

It looks really nice, if I may say, like an abstract drawing. :)

I am not slow, just not good in English.

Very nice smoores!!!!! :clap1: I particularly like the way the bottom one intertwines. They're all good though.

No fancy schmancy flourishing ( like Aubrey's - nice work btw!!! ) but something easy enough to replicate over and over again if need be

hope this helps !

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
