My favourite scripts are the Irish half-uncial and the Chancery Italic.Īs a gift, I’m working on writing out a jig to fit in with a friend’s painting. If anyone needs any advice on using/making these inks feel free to contact me. I also make my own inks, sometimes using fungi,(Coprinus, Inkcaps) and Squid (Calamari). It can be used for very decorative scripts, or…for writing out music.
Before any of you call for a doctor, it is a nib with five (yes, 5!) points.
One my prized possessions is a “rastrum”! translated, this means a “rake/comb”. Some members of the Session have received various pieces from me over the years, and know about this. Sometimes in pencil, sometimes in ink.Īs I mentioned in a recently deleted thread, posted by raff2011, I am a calligrapher. I too, can, and often, as a reference, or a gift, write out a tune. Some have commented on llig’s use of a ruler…what a skill to have! My circumstances often don’t allow me to get to a situation where I might download such and such programmes. Interesting information for which many thanks too!
