I only tested a few of them. This trip was to engineer a set of PAScribe inks.

you might find if you dilute it, it may work better, but that also depends on nib size and script

I have an online course in the PAScribe Scriptorium for purchase. Once I am back from the US in mid July I will be rebuilding the course using new material.

Wow, that'd be fantastic. May I ask where I can find the PAScribe Scriptorium?

Thanks for following for a so long. The west coast needs a trip of its own. Am glad you love the template. That is great to hear.

I use them but I try to get students not to use them because they stick rigidly to them because they are easy tools. Problem is the encourage practitioners to press too hard on them. You also don’t develop the sense of dipping which is part of the rhythm of writing.

ua-cam.com/video/5fB7N-Kj1iM/v-deo.html I seem to remember him raving about them...

@@-mike-8134 they are great tools but people need to know when to graduate off and away from them. I always carry some with me when I am travelling.

Supply list and handout goes up on Monday. Preclass practise exercises go up tomorrow.

Thank you

Definitely! You get a little crit too! So it will really help push you forward. ;-)

You should really take your time on all the letters. Never rush the writing.

Thank you so much. I am glad you found it helpful.

A big part of it is inhaling on the upstrokes. This immediately lightens the touch of the nib and generates finer hairlines. Good paper, ink and nibs also make a huge difference here.

@@PAScribe, thank you! I just tried it with only a pencil here at my desk, and I see what you mean! Wow.

It is focused it is just the setting for the software makes both a horizontal AND a vertical format at the same time and that wreaks havoc with the focus as the vertical is already zoomed in. This is a video camera not my phone.

@@PAScribe, understood. You need a specialized Copperplate camera ;-)

@@xyzct if only. It is good being able to film in 2 formats but it causes its own issues.

Which region are you in?

I have a couple medium size pieces. It is a great crystal. I really love it.

Not close at all. Copperplate is a slow script and the tools, even the fountain pen ones, will stress the paper and bleed.

There is a huge section on tools and materials. The issue with pigments is having to explain how to prepare them for writing. Much more work must be done to prep them for writing vs painting. The binder ratio and substrate to write in are other matters to consider and unfortunately the manual cannot get in to that in detail. I will discuss pigments though and the pros and cons of using them.

You can find them at the PAScribe shop on Shopify

Thanks got it no, many thanks😊

Thank you. It is a Hunt22

@@PAScribe Thank you

I thought about it but it would take too much time to type this up so you can understand it clearly. I am rewriting the manual so I really don’t have the time for it

It is a simple thing to see but definitely not something to explain when typing

You don’t have to. Today we use a piece of tin to act as a reservoir

Thank you for this. I really appreciate it. The nonlatin scripts were only meant to indicate that pointed flexible metal nibs (PFMN) were used for different scripts so as to get the reader to expand their script thinking. The scope of the manual could not encompass anything other than Latin letters, that would mean other books due to page numbers. My understanding of kurrent is a different script altogether. Sütterlin was indeed written with a PFMN and there are many historical examples of this, again this is about calligraphy not handwriting. The 2nd edition has a lot more to include. I am panicking a little as I have learned so much in the past 7 years. Thank you for liking the manual. It means a lot to me to hear this.

​@@PAScribe I am not at all arguing that Sütterlin's Kurrent alphabet was written with a PFMN. I have, to that end, seen a lot of Kurrent (cursive) written with an oblique instrument - quill most often, although it also significantly predates pointed metal nibs (first reference to PMN is in the London Times in 1792?). There are examples of Kurrent, calligrapher examples of Kurrent, written with a PFMN as well (I don't think I can post links in a comment, but I have seen them). I am, of course, not a trained paleographer, not even a trained calligrapher, sigh, best I can claim is maybe an amateur historian, which still sad. I just wanted to caution you that if the historical examples you are referencing and referring to are older than 1911 - the Sütterlin script didn't exist, and if the examples you are referencing are older than 1865, the guy who created the script didn't exist. It may be worth reaching out to someone like Dr. Paul Peucker or Thomas McCullough of the Moravian Archives who teach a course called the German Script Course (it's the 54th year the course has been running)? This is just a suggestion, of course, I have plead my case, and will not continue henceforth. On a bit of a livelier note, since we are talking calligraphy, I am curious if you have seen or have some thoughts on the alternative to the less playful Sütterlin circa 1927ish, offered by Rudolf Koch (who probably needs no introduction) referred to as Offenbacher Schrift. I believe there is an example of it in a less rigid form in "Das ABC Büchlein". There are a number of folks that have offered a number of interpretations of anxiety from Kant and Hegel, Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Sartre, Levinas, Nietzsche, Freud, even Darwin. The common thread running through a lot of their philosophies is the distinction between fear and anxiety: fear has an object, you know what scares you, with anxiety you feel the same sense of disquiet of fear, but you cannot find the object for it. Building on the works of the above, Bergo ventures a hypothesis that "knowledge, including philosophical knowledge, may palliate anxiety". It may then be helpful to soothe your feeling of anxiety to lean on the knowledge you have and have undoubtedly extended in the past 7 years. Some anxiety may, in fact, be able to help you through this revision process. As Ellen Hendriksen said in “How to Be Yourself: Quiet Your Inner Critic and Rise Above Social Anxiety.” - a certain degree of anxiety can help people anticipate obstacles, remain cautious and stay organized; so it may not be all bad. I leave you with a little excerpt from the Preface to "The Little ABC Book Of Rudolf Koch" written by Fritz Kredel. "One of the first things I noticed was a sheet of paper behind the glass door of his (Koch's) bookcase. On it, in large letters, he had written, 'Trachte ich denn nach Glücke? Ich trachte nach meinem Werke!' (Do I strive for happiness? I strive for my work!)" I hope this Nietzsche quote finds you well as well. You are a hard and conscientious worker, and whatever the changes, the additions, the revisions you end up making, will be a reflection of your collected knowledge, your understanding, of yourself and your hard work. I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us this time :)

All tool info is in the description. Glad you like the work

I had to look at the video because I didn’t recognise the image it was so long ago. Glad you like it.

And this is just a small range of the selection of inks, metallics and pigmented inks.

I was stunned at how fine the filaments are as well as the deposition of colour in the metallic and pigmented brush pens.

I will also be including poorly constructed letters so people know what to look out for

It will be embedded in the book. It is too much hassle to separate it out as the existing text will also be altered.

It is has a special relationship with engraving

As soon as it is out I will post about it.
