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.

Wow, you've got a good hand Lozzic! Very graceful :)

Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture. I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it, the dream was over...

Indeed, kudos are in order. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

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?

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! :)

 

 

Oh! Beautiful!

Materials used?

 

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.

Actually, I think that you have that backwards, ASDA is a subsidiary of WalMart.

      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
