Use a pen daily. Currently using a Sailor ink.

A neat little essay on handwriting from the BBC

I was digging around an old box of papers last night and came across a Rotring 400 fountain pen which probably hasn't seen the light of day or been used in the best part of 10 years.

Anyway, I unscrewed the nib, let it soak in some warm water, bought some cartridges and hey presto, I now have a working fountain pen!

Let's see how long I can use it before putting it back into the same box.

I ended up going for the green ink and getting that pen into action. Also remembered a parker I have as a set, might get it out as the wife bought some purple ink.....

This is my spider scrawl in the nice new green ink.

My interest is in fountain pens is piqued. I just requested a Spencerian workbook through inter-library loan and am on the lookout for a cheap fountain pen.

Fountain pens are fun LS. Check out the Noodlers pens and inks. Inexpensive pens and the ink is great too.

Spencerian Script is a challenge my friend, but fun to learn for sure

Well been practicing, and today is my dad's 82nd birthday. So I made him a card.
The dip pens are a challenge for a lefty, but I got it with no smears

My newest one, a Mont Blanc Junior 622 with a M to B Nib, fresh and unused from the early seventies, a low Budget Mont Blanc but it writes absolutly perfect!
Smooth and Wet, i like it. The actual MB Converter works perfect too, the only thing a think about is to use a ink that has a more shiny blue than the Pelikan
Ink i use normaly.
