Sagar, that foundational is looking very crisp, and the Spencerian looks so fluent and effortless -- though I know it isn't.

 

Ken, it's a shame about Photobucket. I use Flickr, which is still free. I rarely use it to host images here on FPN. I just tried it with this image, and it seems to work. You obtain the BBcode of the specific image you want to place here on FPN, and then just copy the BBcode and paste it here.

What to say Ken!!! Your uniformity of letter sizes,space between two letters or words, alignment is just unbelievable...

Nice one David. I have an idea for a composition that will work nicely with this quotation. I am looking forward to playing with this.

Andrew,

The way you're creating depth in your photographs of a two-dimensional subject is impressive. Also, I love the majuscule O in Ortolani.

This is written with an Airmail Wality 71j pen, fitted with an FPR flex nib, modified with a vent hole for additional flex. Tests of this experiment are here, in test no. 3.

Thank you very much guys! It's nice that someone likes it.

This, too, is written by a modified nib for most flexibility (Noodlers flex).

Inspired by your encouragement, I improved the quote in English a little :)

The same pen, the same nib.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
