Flex

OK, here's a rule: don't try and write with a flex-nib fountain pen in one hand, while trying to film the action with your cell phone in the other hand!

Not the best video quality (grainy, low light, subject not centered, etc) but I think it gets the idea across!

Techie details:
  • Pen = 100-year old A.A. Waterman eyedropper fountain pen with gold semi-flex nib
  • Paper = Clairefontaine 90 g/cm2 Seyes-ruled (bought in Clermont-Ferrand)
  • Ink = Private Reserve Dakota Red.

  • Ink: Pelikan Turquoise
  • Paper: Clairefontaine Seyes-ruled
  • Quote: Christian missionary Jim Elliot, who gave his life for the cause of the Gospel
