Hi Janis,
Thanks for your kind comments. I write the same Pulp Fiction quote out every week or so, and take pictures of my progress, as I find it a good way of monitoring my progress, and also what I need to work on. I write in my Rhodia pad without guidelines as I don't want to get overly reliant on them in the future. I'll be happy if I can produce Copperplate without a slant line guide!
I have tried the Brause Rose, but I like the Leonardt Principal EF. I am using the Hunt 101 at the moment. I have some Nikko G, however I find they catch on the upstrokes a lot, and you have to press quite hard to get thick lines.
To save having to re-adjust the flange on my oblique holder I am sticking with the 101 in this one, and will buy another holder for my Leonardt nibs.
Watch this space, I'll post another pic in a few weeks!
