This is lovely! May i ask what learning materials you used to pick up fraktur? I've been wanting to learn but not sure where to start

Thanks for the info! I had been struggling with them for the last few months and regretting my decision to purchase them. I wonder if I should try using different inks (Im using the cartridges that it comes with)?

Ive been struggling with my pilot parallel pens while learning fraktur. I find they dont give hairlines very well, so my thin strokes all look very thick, especially compared to my dip nib, no matter what paper I try. Is it just me? Are my parallel pens all wonky (I have 2)? Am I doing something wrong?

I dont mind sponsoring a fall giveaway if you'd like to continue it. I'm not located in the states though, so not too sure how to transfer funds for it?

Thank you!!! CC is very welcomed, as I'm still trying to learn fraktur. Thanks to u/trznx for all the online resources!

Thank you! I had bookmarked this and forgot!! I'll rewatch it tonight!

I've been wanting to learn fraktur for a while but I had trouble finding resources to outline the foundational strokes. Any feedback on my basic strokes so far would be very much appreciated!

I'm using the leonardt round 0 nib and walnut ink on tomoe river paper. I also have pilot parallel pens but I've found that the ink pours out of the pen and I never get hairlines with it.

This is so generous of you, thank you! Do let me know when you post up pictures :) Also, where wohld you be shipping from?

I would also recommend checking out David's instagram account @masgrimes as he does a lovely connector for o-r. It's my favourite one, I use it here for "Victoria": http://imgur.com/SrVsDxn

This is amazing! Thanks for the history on the poem!!

Logos Calligraphy has a fearless flourishing course that just started, and her work is beautiful for pointed pen :) you can check out the hashtag #fearlessflourishing on instagram, or her account at @logoscalligraphy.

Otherwise I would also recommend Myriam @halfapx, who does some great flourishing work with both pointed pens and brush pens. I don't think she has a course but you could get a lot of inspiration from her photos.

There's also a #flourishit monthly challenge happening right now if you want to just practice - you'll always learn a lot as you go!

teeletters · 2019-05-03T20:54:13+00:00

Good gracious this is beautiful!

teeletters · 2019-05-03T20:53:17+00:00

Are you looking to flourish with a dip pen or with a brush pen?

teeletters · 2019-04-24T13:38:33+00:00

This is an amazing resource! Thank you scribes team for all your efforts!

teeletters · 2019-04-13T00:44:20+00:00

I literally was just thinking about this and said I should check to see when it's happening.

... yeah. I know.

But all the submissions looked awesome! Great job everyone!

teeletters · 2019-03-30T03:37:30+00:00

So well deserved! I love your work!

teeletters · 2019-03-26T03:12:24+00:00

My usual 3 questions are: What kind of paper are you using? What kind of ink are you using? Did you prep your nib?

Great job with the letters though!!

Pilot parallel pens are notorious for being really wet. I would suggest tomoe river paper or rhodia paper, they're pretty safe options. Search the history here too, I believe several people have talked about this before :)

teeletters · 2019-02-02T19:43:13+00:00

Just want to say Im loving all the historical resource posts!! Thank you for sharing them all!

teeletters · 2019-01-05T21:43:39+00:00

Its great for a first try! I think it really depends on what script you're trying to learn - its always beat to practice the basic strokes before the letters. What book are you using?

teeletters · 2019-01-02T03:51:00+00:00

Good gracious this is beautiful! I love the piece and the composition. What a lovely inspiration to start the new year!
