Now, when I have written a whole bottle of Waterman Tender Purple ink and started a new one, now when I am having pretty much the same experience with a new bottle as with the previous one, I feel like I need to share my a few moments about this ink. Unlike Intense Black and Serenity Blue colours from Waterman brands Tender Purple doesn't feel like sure thing to me. But I'll try to explain it.

Anyone need something pen-and-ink to focus on? Join my calligraphy guild's next workshop!

Wonderful instructor Judy Detrick will be teaching us a Dutch Masters script. It's a lightly gothic/somewhat secretary hand with tons of potential for wild flourishing and creative adaptation.

It's Tuesday mornings (Pacific) starting *today*, BUT recordings are available for SIX MONTHS!!

Details: portlandsocietyforcalligraphy.

Handmade book open to a two-page spread. Light brown kraft-color paper with flourished Dutch hand in black ink, with green and white illuminated detail on the capital at the start. Brown thread stitching in the center, with the off-white textured paper cover visible around the edges.

Although I have about 30 pretty fountain pens, lately I've been experiencing such joy in reaching for a bottle of ink and a simple dip pen with steel pointed nib. I have several nib holders with various nibs installed and it seems no matter which one i grab I'm enjoying the act of cursive writing. I write 1 page journal entries every few days, and i write notes and cards to people by hand now. Sometimes i use one of my fountain pens, but mostly these days i reach for a dip pen- it's so beautifully uncomplicated and immediate.

Periodically dipping the nib into the inkwell and giving a slight tap on the well or bottle lip to drop the excess off the nib before writing ten words or so... then another little dip and tap. The gentle scratching sound of the nib bouncing over loops, crosses, and dots forming words. The exquisitely fine hairline curls and luxurious thick ribbons possible with the flexible pin-sharp steel nib. The satisfaction in getting just the right amount of ink on the nib, how the ink coats the nib. There is something profoundly pleasant and comforting in this simplicity of this little ritual. It calms and soothes me....

...I don't feel the need to buy more fancy pens or fancy inks at this point. I have good paper, I have over a dozen variously colored lovely bottles of ink. I have enough fun fountain pens. And i have enough different dip pen nibs to last a long while, along with 6 inexpensive but perfectly serviceable nib holders. What i have could last me for many years.
Have i reached my 'set point'? Have I lost the need for a new pen fix in hopes of finding my own 'grail pen'? Maybe so, but the better question is am I Happy with the writing supplies I have, and the answer to that is very much yes.
