David,

Lloyd Reynolds had a name for the narrrow paper banners with calligraphy, designed to hang from trees. What was that?

 

Weathergrams. :)

 

Actually, I sent the original to a former student of Lloyd Reynolds who is a professional calligrapher and a pen pal.

Ken - I can look at your rendition of the quotation for hours. It is just lovely in so many ways.

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

My thanks to you, David. Borrowed your format for this shot.

 

Pens: Noodler Konrad Krakatoa w/ Goulet 1.1 mm Monteverde Midnight Black

 

Lamy Safari 1.1 mm Monteverde Red Velvet

 

Like the flow of the Monteverde inks, good color, great value (90 ml for ~ $15.00). A great everyday ink.

Yours,
Randal

LJR published a book of his weathergrams, I think sometime in the early 70s. Matter of fact, I think I still have my copy packed away somewhere...

I would love to have more information about this publication - date, title, photos. The Cooley Gallery is working on reprinting some of the works of Reynolds and his students that are currently out of print. This might be a candidate.

Hi friends!

 

I suggest one of my favorite phrases for the next week:

 

Everyone knows, something is impossible. But then someone ignorant appears who does not know that it is impossible, and makes it​!

 

Albert Einstein.

 

How for you?

I think I still have my copy, but if I do, it is packed away somewhere. If memory is correct, it was a large format paperback on the thin side and the text was all done in LJR's hand, no photos. I am in the process of going through my stuff and sort of moving, so if I come across it I will let you know.

I was looking for something on one of my bookshelves and discovered that I had printed out a copy of the LJR Weathergram book some time ago. The cover is indeed something like avocado green. The script is identical to the copy on the Haiku Foundation web site.

 

I wonder if it is still under copyright. I'll find out and report.

Hi!

If no one else wants to start, then I'll probably start first.

Nice drawing, Andrew.

There would appear to be many variations of this quotation with no actual proof that Einstein actually said it. This is the version which I was taught as a child, written here in an everyday Italic scribble :wacko:

Thank you. The main thing is not writing but content and the essence is not changed :).

And you can write, as it is more convenient to perceive the one who writes.

Pen: La Kalligrafie, Goulet 1.1 mm nib

 

Ink: Bortoletti Nero

 

Paper: Clairfontaine Seyes Rule

 

This one was fun, used my everyday writer and ink, and a careful everyday italic hand. For those reluctant to join in, come on! Write, what do you have to lose? Have fun with the rest of us!

      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
