I think I’m in love!

I hold my writing tools almost at 90 degrees and press down hard while doing so. I hate thin pens. Not only do they make a sritchy sound but because of my heavy hand they often tear through paper. My fave fountain pen until now actually is a Pilot meant for calligraphy: flat, wide tip.

But when I saw there were bent tips, I had to give it a try and OH MAN it’s a game-changer!

A Hongdian Black Forest pen with bent tip. It’s fully metallic, in an anodized rainbow colour.

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “Nathan Bailey’s Dictionarium Britannicum of 1730 defines ‘Mothering’ as: ‘A Custom still retained in many places of England, of visiting Parents on Midlent-Sunday; and it seems to be called Mothering, from the Respect in the old Time paid to the Mother Church. It being the Custom for People in old Popish Times to visit their Mother Church on Midlent-Sunday, and to make their Offerings at the High Altar.’ Bailey thus suggests a secularization of a medieval practice, so that people would offer gifts to their own mothers rather than to the church. In the eighteenth century, Mothering” seems to have been a regional custom. Correspondents to the Gentleman’s Magazine in the 1780s are very vague about this day, but believe it may have associations with food or drink. When ‘H.T.’ mentioned ‘furmety on Mothering-Sunday’ in a 1783 communication, another correspondent claimed to be unfamiliar with Mothering Sunday, and observed that others probably were too.” — Claire A. Simmons, Medieval Traditions in Nineteenth-Century Britain (2021). Below the text is a card depicting two faces in triangles arranged tip to top vertically, like a reflection. The upper face has their eyes open the lower one has their eyes closed. Next to the card is a purple fountain pen and a swatch showing a dark purple ink with bronze shading and blue-green shimmer.

This is not so much a macro shot as the actual size is around 15cm. Made by using liquids of different viscosities, oil dyes handmade by me. It's such a learning curve to make these inks! Different pigments behave in diferent ways when melted in oil and also finding the right pigment from a good source is very much a challenge where I live. But we make do with what he have... and here is a snapshop of my playground!
