To conclude: It is a good but not great ink. I might take another one instead of Tender Purple next time, so far on a photos I liked three colours: Diamine Amazing Amethyst, Lamy Azurite and Pilot Iroshizuku Murasaki Shikibu. (Yes, I am quite picky for colour in purple to violet palette).

Now, when I have written a whole bottle of Waterman Tender Purple ink and started a new one, now when I am having pretty much the same experience with a new bottle as with the previous one, I feel like I need to share my a few moments about this ink. Unlike Intense Black and Serenity Blue colours from Waterman brands Tender Purple doesn't feel like sure thing to me. But I'll try to explain it.

Although I have about 30 pretty fountain pens, lately I've been experiencing such joy in reaching for a bottle of ink and a simple dip pen with steel pointed nib. I have several nib holders with various nibs installed and it seems no matter which one i grab I'm enjoying the act of cursive writing. I write 1 page journal entries every few days, and i write notes and cards to people by hand now. Sometimes i use one of my fountain pens, but mostly these days i reach for a dip pen- it's so beautifully uncomplicated and immediate.

Periodically dipping the nib into the inkwell and giving a slight tap on the well or bottle lip to drop the excess off the nib before writing ten words or so... then another little dip and tap. The gentle scratching sound of the nib bouncing over loops, crosses, and dots forming words. The exquisitely fine hairline curls and luxurious thick ribbons possible with the flexible pin-sharp steel nib. The satisfaction in getting just the right amount of ink on the nib, how the ink coats the nib. There is something profoundly pleasant and comforting in this simplicity of this little ritual. It calms and soothes me....

...I don't feel the need to buy more fancy pens or fancy inks at this point. I have good paper, I have over a dozen variously colored lovely bottles of ink. I have enough fun fountain pens. And i have enough different dip pen nibs to last a long while, along with 6 inexpensive but perfectly serviceable nib holders. What i have could last me for many years.
Have i reached my 'set point'? Have I lost the need for a new pen fix in hopes of finding my own 'grail pen'? Maybe so, but the better question is am I Happy with the writing supplies I have, and the answer to that is very much yes.

Looking for recommendations for any iridescent or pearlescent type inks, that are definitely suitable for fountain pen use, if such exist? (I suspect the particles will clog the fountain pen, right?)

Otherwise I'll stick to playing safe with my dip pen nibs.

Pondering this while my main FP enjoys a good soak, ready for a drop more of the last of my vintage #Shaeffer peacock blue ink.

Our last post showed the largest letters in the upcoming 10 × 10 for 10 exhibition. This item contains the smallest letters—by far. Micrography (or microcalligraphy) is the art of creating images using tiny writing. This kind of calligram has a long religious history based on the devout observation of the second commandment against images.

@letterformarchive Is it really #Calligraphy and/or #Woodcut? Looks like black paper/scissors?

Arne Wolf; Los caballos negros son. Las herraduras son negras; 36.5 × 72 in; ca. 1960. Gift of Lisa Stoller.

This huge print, made with a 3-by-6-foot plywood sheet, is one of 100 works on view in our upcoming exhibition, 10 × 10 for 10.

Wolf was born on this day, April 13, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany. He settled in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1960s, where he was a founding member of The Friends of Calligraphy.

I love how the Japanese can be so intense about basically everything. They just can't do anything half-assed.

Me: Japanese writing looks cool, let's look up how to write a few basic things neatly
