Some copy work for practising ERH... (please excuse the copy errors). I wrote this with an Esterbrook 355 and IG ink on Rhodia paper.

The 355 works much better at about half the x-height, but I was much too lazy to do guidelines... I also did it quite condensed, so I could fit more text to the line.

Very impressive. A very different look. I like it. Excellent control!

Something to aspire to...

Lovely,

Thank you.

Wish we had more (and easier) variety of scripts/fonts to use here on FPN.

Just my opinion. I am appreciative of FPN the way it is too.

Le petit prince! Et en français! My father read it to me some 40 years ago, and every time I read it I can almost hear his voice. Thanks.

 

Nice handwriting. I improved my Palmer a lot, but am afraid I lack the discipline to get into Spencerian or English Roundhand. It looks beautiful, though.

      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.
