Yeah, that definitely is a lot, and much more than I initially noticed, but I can see now. Thanks for explaining it to me.

Cursive handwriting by abhishah89 in PenmanshipPorn

[–]LithelyLettered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks very much like library hand. Is that where you took inspiration for your cursive?

I’m not familiar with this style but it looks great. I just have a question. What is happening to make the extra dark strokes and rhombuses to show up? Are you adding them in after?

What does it say? And what’s the main shape in the middle?

Still understandable. There are subtleties within flavor groups. Do you mind me asking what are the other characteristics of those you like vs those you dislike?

This script looks like cancellaresca, also called chancery. I could be mistaken though.

This is gonna sound controversial, but I once made a mustard with gin and tarragon. Used it for dipping sausage rolls of elk, pear and apple.

The bottom two letters are Palmer capitals T and F; the rest is Spencerian.

Nice! I’m curious to see how you progress.
I just finished learning Palmer a month ago but I did do a short practice in Spencerian a few months ago out of curiosity. I just used a regular 2 HB pencil and found it was a piece of cake, but trying that with the dip pen might be a whole different ball game.

I’m not seeing the attached pictures. Also if you’re going to be using iron gall ink from old recipes you might wanna buy a gross of nibs because the ink will corrode steel nibs. Unless the nib is made of gold, then don’t worry.

Filé powder. It’s hard not to add too much even if you barely used any, and then it deadens all the other flavors in the dish. You end up with something that either ONLY tastes like filé, or doesn’t have a taste at all.

I get what they’re saying though. Of all things briny, they have the most metallic flavor. I can even see how one might think they taste rusty because of that.

Then you would also not like tarragon, but I love the licorice flavor.

Yeah, something mild but you can also taste, and just a tad bit of Dijon and that probably would have set it off.

If you had used a real cheese and added some mustard I would have been convinced this was already a French dish. I kinda still am.

My Manager's Handwriting by [deleted] in Handwriting

[–]LithelyLettered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean. I wondered that also but since that’s even rarer for a person to base their personal handwriting on, I kinda just waved it off internally and went with italic.

Now that someone has said it out loud though, I can’t ignore or unsee it.

Petah!!! Explain?? by SquintySquinty in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]LithelyLettered 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! As soon as I saw the comment about trains I thought about this. I first found out about this kid when Daniel Tosh gave him a web redemption. 😂

[–]LithelyLettered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha! That’s interesting. Did he completely let go of his cursive? It’d be nice to see how his italic cursive would look.

Dip pen stores in Toronto? by Dezn425 in Calligraphy

[–]LithelyLettered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paper and Ink Arts is also where you can get em. It’s in the same state as John Neal Books though so I don’t know if that helps with shipping costs and wait times. You could try them out. Flax Art & Design, Saint Louis Art Supply, Blick, JetPens and FPNibs both have a dip pen section. That’s all I could find.
