Sagar, that foundational is looking very crisp, and the Spencerian looks so fluent and effortless -- though I know it isn't.

 

Ken, it's a shame about Photobucket. I use Flickr, which is still free. I rarely use it to host images here on FPN. I just tried it with this image, and it seems to work. You obtain the BBcode of the specific image you want to place here on FPN, and then just copy the BBcode and paste it here.

Nice one David. I have an idea for a composition that will work nicely with this quotation. I am looking forward to playing with this.

Andrew,

The way you're creating depth in your photographs of a two-dimensional subject is impressive. Also, I love the majuscule O in Ortolani.

This is written with an Airmail Wality 71j pen, fitted with an FPR flex nib, modified with a vent hole for additional flex. Tests of this experiment are here, in test no. 3.

Thank you very much guys! It's nice that someone likes it.

This, too, is written by a modified nib for most flexibility (Noodlers flex).

Inspired by your encouragement, I improved the quote in English a little :)

The same pen, the same nib.

      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
