Writing with a fountain pen is, to me, like the feeling I get when I
slip my arm into the sleeve of that oxford shirt, watching the starch
motes fly from the surface, feeling the cool of the material touching
my arm as it separates the two sleeve sides that were previously
"glued" together by starch. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Now, if you'll
excuse me, I need to go clean up<smile>
L,
Glad to hear your hobby!!! Have you done any calligraphy? I've eye-
witnessed journeymen with pen in hand. AWESOME!!!
I remember my first rapidograph although I can't remember the tip size
(00 comes to mind)! Did I "go to town" with that pen for drawing pictures
from my thoughts!!!
I won a 2nd (?) place ribbon at an "Art in the Park" contest when I was
about 7 years old. The prize: a "Paint by numbers" kit. THE BUMS!!! I can
take a hint, dammit! I still have it in a drawer.
SO WHAT if my drawing had a smudge of bubblegum on it!
All the best,
Andy
