Chinese Cacography: 計畫 Plan
We're now fully into the second half of the year. Need to finalize plans for the remainder of the year. Plans for the blog, vacation, family, work.
Pen: Tactile Turn Gist Titanium EF
Ink: Noodler's Raven Black
Brush: Kuretake Yumeginga (Dream Galaxy) Brush Pen
Ink: Noodler's Plains of Abraham
Just a quick note on the ink from the brush pen. I had just washed the brush and inked it soon after. I think there was water left on the bristles which diluted the ink. Plains of Abraham is usually much darker. The watercolour look is kind of nice though.
Chinese Cacography (i.e. chicken scratch) is my attempt to combine using fountain pens and Chinese characters writing practice. Unless otherwise noted, the paper used is always Baron Fig Apprentice Dot grid.
Pen friends in the US are celebrating Thanksgiving this week and the countdown to Black Friday begins! It got me thinking that a holiday gift guide would be helpful. This guide is primarily intended for the non-pen person looking for a gift for the fountain pen aficionado, whether newbie or seasoned, in his or her life.
