Tools & Supplies / Re: Paper Source discontinuing chocolate, fig, and persimmon colors
« on: October 02, 2015, 07:49:10 AM »That's strange. Paper source hasn't publicly announced any discontinuation and you can still buy those colors online. Are you certain it's not just your particular store that won't be carrying them anymore?
I think it's every store. She also said this store had twice shipped a color to others that had sold out. She could have been wrong, but she appeared to know what she was talking about.

Tools & Supplies / Paper Source discontinuing chocolate, fig, and persimmon colors
« on: October 01, 2015, 12:13:51 PM »
I was recently in Paper Source, and a saleswoman told me that the chain will be discontinuing the chocolate, fig, and persimmon colors. I asked when this would take place, and she said they simply wouldn't be getting any more, and that the current stock was all that was available. So, if you like those colors, you may want to stock up.

Welcome. It's fun having an Internet connection, isn't it? If you haven't seen Schin's calligraphy videos on YouTube, I'd highly recommend doing so. It's fun to see somebody so skillful. Just go to YouTube and search for OpenInkStand.

Welcome. Which pointed nib did you try? That can have a lot to do with how much it snags. The paper can, too. Erica's recommended products could help you with that a lot: http://theflourishforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=434.0

Welcome. Don't worry about using an oblique holder. It looks different, but after using it for a few minutes, it feels natural (that's how it was for me, at least).

Tachikawa 'G' is my favorite. Smooth on both downstrokes and upstrokes, and consistent flow. Plus, the hairlines can be pretty fine.
