Basically, I've been going NUTS looking for the type of pen that makes
Engraver's Script.
I tried the
Oblique Pen from Speedball. It works...it's just missing a little something...not too mention that it awkward as all getout to hold.
So it's been a journey and a half to find what I was looking for in a standard pen holder. Finally came across this beauty.
Obviously, I'm gonna need some practice before it's presentable. (No, don't say it's good. If you hired me for your wedding invites, and they looked like that, you'd fire me before I had a chance to say 'A quick brown fox.')
Which ironically is the motivation behind learning this particular hand. My brother....*may*, and I cannot stress this enough *may* be getting married soon, so congrats are premature, however as his Brother as well as bro, I of course offered to handle the invites and loved the thought of learning a new hand.
So even if the plan falls through, I do not lose either way.
But yeah, that's why I got excited enough to post this...just a chunk of metal objectively. Learning all the nuances of a entirely new art form to find it.
Here's one more for Show and Tell.
