The look in that little girl's eye says "Okay. I'm here now. Amuse me!"

The variation in this uncial-ic style came from the two-tone semi-flexible nib on my vintage 1950's Sheaffer Touchdown Statesman. Ink: Waterman Mysterious Blue (Blue/Black); paper: Staples Sustainable Earth bagasse.

Nope, it's not just you. I have the same reaction...

I'm doing it all wrong then. :blush:

Dang it! I edited the last one, because I forgot a letter in a word, and I did it again with this one!

I'm really tired.

Hmm, it seems like I've been wasting my time on internet, a bit too much. Instead, if I had spent those precious hours into my penmanship I could have done a lot better than this. Needless to say I'm smitten by penmanship on this thread. Everyone, A GREAT JOB!

 

Anyway, GClef that uncial inspired style dropped my jaw wide open. God! I need to show that to my friends and make them rethink about their penmanship. And I completely agree with you on the ballpoint thing. I haven't used touched one in past 4-5 years, but when I used them, I never needed any pressure to write.

Wow! Nice work you did there Thaddeus. This and this thread have forced me to rethink my penmanship. Oh BTW this is what I can muster up at this moment..

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
