Our dear friend and book contributor Liz Steel has been doing a wonderfully helpful series on her blog on
Fountain Pens for Sketching, on Tuesdays and Thursdays--don't miss it!
She asked me about my Noodler's Creaper conversion to a bent-nib
calligraphy pen, and though I've mentioned it in passing, here, I really
didn't say much about it...so here's Part One, how I did it, and why! I love that
pen...lightweight, versatile, handy and fun!
The bent-nib pens are great fun , once you learn how to hold them...this is from my
YouTube video that shows a number of ways to use them.

Actually, it's Chinese, in this case, but oh well... |

And oops, sorry, Blogger's being weird, so I'm having to do this in two parts...
lOVE THESE!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for this Kate - I will link to you and should try it myself!
ReplyDeleteI was very pleased, since the M-86 has such a nice nib but a weird shape...and too heavy!
