Sorry about that being upside down - it's not on PhotoBucket... This is an excerpt of a post, because I had problems getting a good picture with my web cam. It does give an impression though.

I have my theories... finding better posture. Need to bend close to the paper as my eye sight is impaired. As weird it might sound, but I like handvriting in spite of that :)

I do a LOT of writing, and experimenting ... tonight I watched some YouTube videos from the OpenInkStand and got inspired to just make up stuff, and loosely pattern what I saw from that YouTube channel ... Here's the results of tonight's practice:

This is one that was auto squared by EverNote ... the full page ... mistakes and all ....

httpmom: Your handwriting looks great !!! Please share, I'm intrigued, What pen's did you keep - that you have now?

 

AAAndrew ... I envy you ... you are getting better ... I'm wondering what flex nib that is ?

 

TheArctic: I do not know how to give advice at all ... but I would say try to relax, and just experiment a bit ... try different hand holds on the pen, styles, move arm for a set, plant the palm for a set, roll your hand to the side for a set, this style, and that style ... keep what you like and throw away the rest ...

So, I noticed that I got caught up in playing with different hooks on "g"'s and didn't write "think" but wrote "thing" instead ... LOL ...

 

Having fun ... and definitely hooked ...

Just playing a bit ... attempted to have minimal movements up- and down-wise directions just to see what it would look like. :-)

I have an iPad app that I've started using .... even with my finger ... to keep from wasting so much paper each night ...

 

this was from a few days ago ... before even my last two or three images ... this led to those most recent images ...

richiwalt,

 

I have tried many pens form many places and differing price ranges ( nothing over $250) and these are my keeper pens so far:

 

Platinum 3776

Pilot Decimo (from Japan)

Pilot Namiki Falcon with FS nib (from Japan)

Pilot Metropolitan x 4

Edison Nouveau Premium

Lamy Safari

 

Vintage Esterbrook J (flex nib)

Vintage Marbie Swan (flex nib)

Vintage Waterman 52 (flex nib)

 

BTW, I like you script experiments...it's good to find your personal style, after all that is the beauty of using a FP!

It's Māori language week here, so...

Used a brush pen not a fountain pen :rolleyes:

 

I wish they taught Maori from a young age in NZ. I'm realising how important and useful it is, especially in my "unrelated" biology degree.

Greetings Christina1122,

 

Likewise, welcome to the thread. Several seem to be asking this question ... there will be much help as people contribute to sharing about this. I have ideas as well ... although I've only been here 3 1/2 weeks now. I bought Spencerian Theory and copy books from Amazon (bought together around $20 or so ... and I'm kind of in the middle of working through that, already making some personal modifications ... but the base forms for correct letters seems to be invaluable.

 

Below is my plug for this form of handwriting ... although Palmer and other methods are beautiful as well, (and perhaps easier to learn ... not sure ... converting bad habits and re-learning ingrained methods seems to be a common enemy for us all LOL). Anyway, I hope this helps in some way ... perhaps if nothing more, to just strengthen motivation.

 

(PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR TYPING A LOT HERE in this "Handwritten Post Only" thread.

Why are there fourteen samples of dark plum ink on my desk? Because I still haven't found the right shade.

Is that a problem...??? : : : sigh : : :

 

Update: Great. Finally found one I love (Lamy Dark Lilac) but I can't get more. Ah, life in my inky world....

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      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
