I'm in Love!! (For the newbies)

Thanks for sharing Ellen! I never tried the Moon Palace Sumi ink but I will. Actually, I practice with Kuretake Sumi Ink (Melissa Esplin's advice) which works great too. May be similar.

I was just wondering, you use a straight holder for copperplate/spencerian? Are you left handed?

Erica, no it isn't an oblique. Vince, I am right-handed and have only had success with a straight holder since I began learning copperplate.

Thanks for your reply, I was just curious about that. I guess everybody has his fav =) For me it's just impossible to write copperplate with the straight one..

Same here - to get the 55° slant without an oblique, I would have to break my wrist!

Vince, I moved your question here: http://theflourishforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=271.0

It is a good question and I wanted it to have its own thread so others could follow it and easily find it.

Good idea
