I always find ink squirt on the nib kind of really, um, attractive? Nib creep too. Is it weird? :blush:

Any recommendation for Italic calligraphy book is much appreciated. I want to be able to write even a little bit like Attila! Waaaa!

I agree with Tas; your handwriting is beautiful! Why should you change it? It has a lot of personality. And it works well also with a stub nib :-)

 

I really like your white Pelikan, too!

I think many of you recognized "Seven of Nine" from Startrek Voyager. :lol:

 

@Snak

It´s not that difficult, I pick the powder up with the brush.

This picture was more painted with the brush than drawn.

What is too much i just blow away, and you can erase Sanguine with a Rubber (at least to some point)

The Lyra pen is a Sanguine pencil, it feels similar to a charcoal pencil.

 

But don´t be disappointed that you don´t recocgnize the characters from the SciFi series.

Especially for you Snak I made something you know for sure :D

 

I wanted to test my new Mitsubishi Uni Pin fineliners.

And they are great.

The ink is really a black black and they are 100% waterproof.

They feel good, the flow is very constant, so no complains at all.

 

 

Titel: Donald

Paper: Clairefontaine Dessin 160g/m2 A4

Material: Aquarelle

Effort: about 2 Hours

Snak, I like your penmanship and I think that nib is awesome.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Tas, line, Attila, and Amber, thank you so much for your kind words. I am going to become friends with my italic nib and will find the sweet spot so I can make it work for me. Wish me luck!

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
