Recently I was playing with three different brand of brush pens -- fountain pens with brush bristles in place of a metal nib. While I was doing so, I cleaned up my regularly used Lamy fountain pens. Then, instead of refilling them, I dug out a couple of other brand pens I hadn't used for quite awhile.
The first one is a Hero M86 Chinese Calligraphy pen with a curious bent nib. Holding it in a normal way gives a bold line; tipping it up gives a much finer, controlled line. I do not know calligraphy but this pen gives a good variety of line width. Takes some getting used to. (I got a bit carried away with lines on the leaves -- wish I had quit earlier.)
The pen on the second page is a Noodler's Konrad Flex fountain pen. Holds more ink than their Creaper model and not as cumbersome as their Ahab pen. I LOVE this pen! Great line variation and much easier to handle than the Hero.
Lovely page, and it is large after clicking on it! Thanks for sharing in this way! Love seeing it in detail!
ReplyDeleteI finally found a new battery for my camera! Using my iPad is quicker but using my camera allows the pages to be clicked to a larger size --- wish I knew why!
ReplyDeleteI've been playing with my Konrads again, too!
ReplyDeleteNICE pens...
I had forgotten how responsive my Konrad has become with usage. Great little pen!
DeleteYour poinsettia is gorgeous, Vicky! I love that I could enlarge it and get a good look at it! Glad you found a new battery for your camera.
ReplyDeleteCrazy how hard it is to find a battery for a popular camera that is still sold everywhere!
DeleteAnd weird that pictures taken with Apple products can't be enlarged in Blogger, even though they upload larger. I don't understand . . .
