This is definitely a looong video. So, unless you’re a hardcore Squiggly Word Fan, I wouldn’t hang around. This is just a test, anyway.

But if you’re still reading, I was testing Dr PH Martin Bleed Proof White. I had to dilute it with a a few drops of water. I’m using a Nikko G nib. It’s a good combo to test on dark paper. It’s not my favorite nib, but it is one of the easiest ones to mess around with. I don’t have a lot of time to practice, so tonight was special because I had time to test out different papers. This isn’t high art, but it gave me an idea of how the ink worked with the paper and the nib. I know, this is calligraphy nerdiness, but it’s what’s involved in attempting to create different looks. If I had all day, I’d spend a ton of it with dip pen practice. But, there are still so many styles still left to learn. I tried brush pens tonight too. That was pretty pathetic, so lucky for you, no video. ? I don’t know what I’m doing some days, Sometimes I just need to just do it. It’s the only way I’ll know what works, how to improve and continue striving. It’s kind of like that in my walk as a Christian. Except, Love, specifically, His Love, gives me a fair anount of direction. I live it out, and see how it settles. So far, this ministry has been a result of that. So, I make every effort to represent His Love in the most excellent way, and where I fall short, He bridges the gap. Too bad that didn’t work for the brush lettering? May your night be blessed in all goodness and truth and love through Him, the Lord of Heaven and Earth. ??????
Love Always ♥♥♥♥♥
