Especially on the period jobs, you know... just knock up some writing to dress this desk here. Every so often I get it right and the pen is great, but the scratchy splatters along the way are many and violent.<br /><br />It's the constant dipping that wears me out ( oh Matron ) i can never get the reservoir right and it is either just a gnat's drop that you can't even write gnat with, or a quivering swimming pool of ink that holds just until your optimism thinks you have cracked it, then splots all over your lovely work.<br /><br />Looking forward to more of this adventure.<br /><br />And never knock the novelty eraser.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070505642533336362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613553235324924329.post-78599736619136113662012-05-09T10:43:39.265-07:002012-05-09T10:43:39.265-07:00Yep, Leonardo..apparently a pretty clever chap but...Yep, Leonardo..apparently a pretty clever chap but couldn't do smiles :)<br />Don't worry June, I am not planning a side career as a goose botherer.
