friday #handwriting

dip pen, 3.8mm parallel, 2.4mm parallel, the usual

wrote one line with the lamy nexx in lamy blue, and then two lines with the lamy safari with the iroshizuku kon peki blue to compare; the kon peki's a bit lighter, but still easy to read

pretty sure the emerald isn't going to work in the preppy, like the sparkles are getting stuck somewhere

hadn't used the kakuno in a week so it was a bit hard to start

one thing i love to do while #handwriting is to have to futz with a cartridge and accidentally get a bunch of water everywhere

wrote a few lines with the dip pen

put some apparently sepia-colored ink in the 2.4mm parallel

and emerald of chivor in the 3.8mm parallel

put the pilot iroshizuku kon peki (blue) in the lamy safari

and emerald in the preppy medium but it's not behaving yet (gotta mess with it more)

let the noodler's empire red sit in the muji too long

lamy nexx w/ lamy blue

still on the #handwriting prompts from november, picking and choosing the most interesting and hellish ones

and gosh this tram stop near where i stayed in amsterdam after #sha2017 is definitely hard for an english-literate person to write

more comfortable with the dip pen than i felt yesterday

didn't bother with the 6mm parallel, but the 1.5mm does well even if it feels imprecise due to ink motion

did a few lines with the sheaffer wide-nib fountain men

and a few lines with the lamy nexx too

don't have a #handwriting prompt list for december so i grabbed one i missed from november

getting back into the dip pen after a few weeks barely using it

put some red from the 3.8mm parallel in the 6mm parallel (otherwise purple) for a line, then found out the 3.8mm parallel basically kicked (aside from the purple i put in)

tried the lamy safari, but that one's thoroughly kicked

so i used the muji fine with empire red instead

a bit of #handwriting at my parents'

the blue lamy safari kicked, and the 2.4mm pilot parallel is about to

monday morning #handwriting

Sunday evening #handwriting

Hard to fit “Shoreditch High Street” in with the 3.8mm parallel but I managed

Used the small and medium sheaffer pens for the first time in a while too

behind the #handwriting

back on #handwriting after a week out of town

kissing the parallel green into the emerald worked well, the parallel red not so much

today’s #handwriting

Forgot to post #handwriting yesterday, noticed the improved lighting at my writing table makes the emerald really pop

I’ll post today’s later once I leave my nice warm bed

Nobody will say my Japanese calligraphy is good, but nobody will say I didn’t try

#handwriting

a bit of #handwriting

did #handwriting today, it's the station near here this time

#handwriting

calligraphy: great we love it
cursive: fast, i guess?

in the sun instead of LEDs #handwriting

sunday morning #handwriting

thinkin' of my friend greg in seattle

put the iroshizuku yama-budo in the kakuno, and it's this kind of nice sedate purple

first ink i try out of the 24 samples i got and i really like it

cloudy drizzly afternoon #handwriting

late evening #handwriting
