I like posing things for photos. Pens, letters and wax. #grownostr #photography #penstr #fountainpens
I've found a seal. A golden rose. My father's grave is adorned with roses and so the flower has become an impromptu symbol for our family. I've just finished my first letter to my grandmother and this is my first wax seal. I'm going to enjoy this. #grownostr #letterstr #penstr #fountainpens

I bought a wax seal kit so I can send personalized letters to family and friends. The box it came in looked pretty gay but I think it'll be a nice touch, plus who doesn't like getting mail that isn't bills? Seriously, nobody sends letters anymore. #grownostr #waxseal #penstr #fountainpens

https://i.nostr.build/oMwVw.jpg Anyone who knows me knows I have a strong dislike of planned obsolescence. Everything is increasingly made of garbage and it drives me nuts. Enter the fountain pen. To start, they're made to be refilled which means they're too be reused in a way (for a lifetime) that your average ballpoint or rollerball aren't. They're really made to last and I love that. Second, they write SO NICELY. Their performance is far above mass market pens. As an artist, I've had some nice pens in my life but these outstrip all of them. And these two are beginner pens! I'm genuinely enjoying writing maybe for the first time in my life and these pens feel like the kind of item worth buying with Bitcoin as they stand the test of time, they are fun to use and they are beautiful to boot. #grownostr #plebchain #penstr #fountainpens

https://i.nostr.build/J6del.jpg https://i.nostr.build/rokBa.jpg I would love to work towards getting one of these for my desk. This is simply a gorgeous, classy way to store one's pens. #grownostr #plebchain #penstr #fountainpens
I've been slamming through my 'B' sheets today. I've finished these and now I'm onto my notepad sheets again. POW of fledgling penmanship. #grownostr #plebchain #penstr #fountainpens
A character I created in high school. Rough drawing just messing around with the TWSBI. I haven't done pen doodling in a long time so I'm rusty. I used to do this all the time, including marker drawings and portraits. Might pick that stuff up again just to have something to do other than woodworking and photography. I'm definitely enjoying the fountain pens. #grownostr #plebchain #penstr #fountainpens

https://i.nostr.build/9z4oJ.jpg My goal is to do ten of each of these practice sheets and then do at least three of the notepad sheets where I practice each letterform. Currently my handwriting is atrocious but I've been using garbage pens my whole life. Fountain pens just write nicer and so there is a bit of intrinsic motivation to them. I've got my ten practice sheets done, now to finish my notepad sheets, of which there is one now. From this exercise, I plan to develop a handwriting curriculum for my daughter once she's ready for school. I even plan on buying her her very own fountain pen set to use. #grownostr #plebchain #penstr #fountainpens
