Arabic. The last chapter of Quran.

İnk is handmade genuine saffron ink.

It's lovely! Not that we English writers have much to compare it to, but I've seen Persian written many times, and for that matter Hebrew and a bit of Arabic. From an untrained eye, the second sample looks better. Funny how saffron is red, but it comes out more orange/yellow. Guess that's why people sometimes use turmeric when saffron is too expensive!

Only saffron may be used for fountain pen, turmeric is very dangerous, it is more dangerous than india ink and 100% will destroy fountain pen at the first time. Beside of it, the color of saffron is unique, turmeric hasn't such strong and deep orange color as saffron has. The color of saffron is fire color, it changes from light orange to dark orange during writing of every letter or word and the text looks like flame.

Haha... sorry, I meant in cooking where people cheat and use turmeric! Not in ink! The saffron ink is gorgeous!

You must be kidding right? That's one of the most calligraphic and legible handwriting I've ever seen. Wish I was able to write at least half as beautiful :notworthy1:

"The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true..." (Carl Sagan)

:embarrassed_smile: Thank you, but I wouldn't call it.. calligraphic. Some of the writing here almost looks like it was typed up! o.o My biggest pain the behind right now is how my 'o' looks like 'a' when I link it. :headsmack:

Your handwriting is not bad, it is easy readable. Just train some times, use penmanship and calligraphy books and it will be very beautiful.

Write and enjoy the process.

This is a good Idea! I'll post a 'before & after' pic once my handwriting improves!

It is really interesting seeing the different ways people write. I tend to write in cursive because it's faster for me, but most of the time I don't really think about the shapes that I am making on paper. I think it would be cool to learn calligraphy, but I cannot think of any time when I might actually use it.

This was a poem I found in a random book of Czech decadent poetry that I acquired when I visited Prague. The samples are written in J. Herbin Poussiere de Lune (one of my favorite colors) with a Noodler's Ahab Flex Pen... I haven't exactly learned how to write with flex yet, so you don't really see any flexing in this.

 

Also, I do not normally despise following lines. I don't know why that happened.

Easier to read too. Good job!

This is my current handwriting, nothing special, but I'm still trying to improve. Any advise?!

I've practiced (a lot) since I last posted to this thread. So, here's a new sample, on Rhodia No 18 with a Wahl Lady Doric pen with an adjustable nib.

Now you're cookin' with gas, bro! Most excellent. That's what I'm talkin' about; this is what I like to see. Thanks for posting it.

Really nice handwriting!

      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
