...right to the point (;-J)....I always associate red ink with getting my jotters back!!!
beverley harrison09-Dec-2008 22:42

Johnny JAG09-Dec-2008 22:02
Tsk @ Zak, he wouldn't understand!
Dick Lowthian09-Dec-2008 21:50
Fountain pens and the ability to write in italics - not too many people possess either these days.
Jeff Lobaugh09-Dec-2008 20:28
Great image. This is almost a lost art!
Zak09-Dec-2008 19:55
bought up in the 1860s were we? heheh (runs...)
J. Scott Coile09-Dec-2008 19:32
...and quite a fancy quill. Would be fun writing instead of typing. I was going to try to get a macro shot of the ink jet laying down ink. Too much of a moving target.

Beautiful !
JW09-Dec-2008 19:08
I find using a fountain pen reduces stress. lovely image in red ink!
Lee Rudd09-Dec-2008 18:33
written in blood! your writing is waaaaaay better than mine!

Don't think I've used a fountain pen since my school days, but I do like fancy writing. I was always the one to write the message on "Big-0" birthdays and retirements at work.

Nice focus!
Phillip Normanton09-Dec-2008 17:05

It means a lot to those who receive it.
I only get one card done in calligraphy now, it is so special.
