Full Version: Flourished Fraktur
This is an example of some flourished Fraktur lettering I did this morning. There are a few errors but I like it.

Wow Lozzic, I like it too! Very well executed, IMHO a wonderful sample of rich flourishing, and well proportioned.
Many, many compliments.
Many, many compliments.
Be still my beating heart, what a lovely piece you have created there! The flourishing looks wonderful, I could stare at this for a long time coming! Thank you for sharing!

WOW that's amazing. I'm really a total beginner with this fountain pen/calligraphy stuff but I hope one day to be that good. Fantastic.
Thanks for all the replies!
For paper I used my practice paper which I buy from ASDA. I don't think there are any ASDA stores in the US but Wal-Mart might do something similar since ASDA is their subsidiary... The paper is called High Quality A4 paper and comes in packs of 500 sheets.
For ink I used Ziller Soot Black
For the majuscule B I used a Size 1 William Mitchell nib and for the minuscule I used a size 1 1/2 (1.5)
The flourishing was done with a vintage John Heath 662 though I now feel that a finer more flexible pen would probably have been better.

cool - keep up the good work!
Speechless, or nearly so. That's amazing. It has personality and is intriguing. It's beautiful.

Actually, I think that you have that backwards, ASDA is a subsidiary of WalMart.
I don't even notice the errors, what will you be using the piece of calligraphy for?
