Hello, Erica.
Hmm. How did I get here? The short version is via Deb Basel's copperplate class at the D.C. Supershow. That was the quickest four hours I've had in a long time! I want more!
I've played with Speedball C nibs since high school in the 1900's, but not much lately.
About two years ago I got tired of how much ball pens made my hands hurt, and I remembered the Parker Vector fountain Pens I used in school. Thanks to the interweb, I found them, and everything else I needed including knowledge. I now have a good stable of 'user' fountain pens, and it's time to do some more learning.
My nosing around this forum earlier today gave me a good feeling, so here I am, all registered.
Thank you for building this place.
