Thanks for a terrific portrait, but you forgot my glasses! :yikes:

Those who have seen my pathetic efforts at drawing (my childhood attempts at artwork should have been taped to the inside of the fridge) know why I am a photographer. I have photographed a dragon or two. Here is the latest.

This is Salvator's Dragon, little cousin to Komodo, above.

Clearly it is a bookwürm.... ;)

I'll try to put one up in a couple of days (a heraldic one). Right now I'm decompressing from doing way too much heraldic art in the past couple of weeks (close to 50 drawings -- large numbers of which were variants of "France Modern quartered with England") so no dragons but LOTS and LOTS of lions passant guardant and fliers-de-lis. Although the yale badge of Margaret Beaufort was fun. As was the badge of the Stanleys (although what the story of the "baby in a bassinet attacked by an eagle/falcon" was completely escapes me -- let alone why they decided to MAKE it their badge.... But that stuff wasn't done with FPs -- they were all done in pencil, inked over with Uniball markers, scanned in, printed off, and colored in with Crayola markers.

That first line is the most appropriate thing I have read on this board for truly yonks. Give yourself 5 gold elephants, rampant.

 

Australia has a coat of arms, featuring an emu and a kangaroo. Both quite edible. We must be about the only country that eats our coat of arms...

 

I sometimes wish, though, that we had a milder one, perhaps that featured the mountain pygmy possum and the platypus.

Hah! My husband actually used to have a t-shirt with cartoon of a dragon curled up reading a book, and that was the caption, which is why I thought of of the term.

As for "milder" I seem to recall one of the Aubrey/Maturin novels where Stephen got himself poked a by the poisonous stinger of a platypus. :huh: So maybe not sold mild....

Earlier this evening we were watching a rerun of the old TV show The Avengers and it was the one where the military personnel were doing stupid stunts because they were being conditioned to be adrenaline junkies in a secret society, which held their meetings (unbeknownst to the dotty old lady in charge of the place) at some stately home turned military museum. At one point, she's pointing out the coat of arms of some ancestor and describing it at "four black roses rampant and four feathers 'couchant'" and I was just absolutely cringing at the bad blazon....

I don’t get to draw dragons for my current show, which is rather contemporary. Did a boatload for “Sofia The First.” Some of them sing.

      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
