i'm just getting established on fiverr bc until i can get things moving with filing for disability, i am in desperate need of cash so i don't lose my vehicle and you know. so i can eat. i'm currently offering customized hand lettering pieces!
Descending loop calligraphy drills with pointed pen. I always meant to learn my drills with dip pen but I just never got around to it. It's a very sloooow process. But I did it today! It's amazing how much steeper the learning curve is with a nib and ink. I use mine so randomly that I never really bothered to do the fundamentals. Hopefully this will help with my future pointed pen projects.
Some bits and bobs. I have been away from this Tumblr for way too long, not that I didn’t do anything but I just forgot to post once, then twice, then... well, you know.
Anyway I am prepping my first exhibition! I won’t show anything from it until it happens, but expect many recent pieces in the coming weeks.
2023, 11 August. It's a metaphor. Don't force it to do the work of a fact.

Sage Advice. I backed a kickstarter for this inkwell by Ferris Wheel Press a ways back and I finally got it in the mail today. It's such a fun design. You can set it on the lid to spin your ink up and then tilt it to use for dipping your pen. It's beautiful and I just love looking at it on my desk. They might be sold out of these for now but hopefully they make more!
Also testing my final calligraphy ink color and I love it! All four colors performed perfectly with my dip pen right out of the bottle.
PS: I have a discount link with code JWA in my bio for 10% off at FWP.
