The Anne of Green Gables Manuscript: L.M. Montgomery & the Creation of Anne [Shared]
The manuscript is housed in the collections of the Confederation Centre Art Gallery in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Both sides of each page (recto and verso) were scanned at the Robertson Library's Digitization Lab at the University of Prince Edward Island.

I would love to see styles of antiquated handwriting, to model.
Peope used to be so good at writing, because writing by hand used to be important and meaningful.
I am probably most interested in examples from 11th to 17th century.
The sweet spot in the middle would be 14th century, but there were amazing examples all through this span!
So what I really would love is... access to resources that are hundreds of thousands of sorted images, or everything a specific scribe or writer ever did compiled cleanly in a high quality pdf,
and like hundreds of thousands of those.
Possibly entire digitised libraries of antiquated hand written books or papers from historical documents?
Can anyone point out some references like this that are high quality and expansive?
I am not against resources in multiple languages either. Handwriting is so cool.
Thank you!

#FountainPen #handwriting
Hold
they say hips hold trauma
is that why I cry every night
on the floor, stretching
to maintain at least my mobility
if not emotional stability
do I still hold your memory
so deep in my body
the pain has become
physical

Every fresh notebook for poetry needs a page for inspiration before I can write my own poetry in it. This time it's the lyrics for one of my favourite songs by Chelsea Wolfe, Color of Blood. Not really relevant for a black and white photo but the fountain pen ink used here was obviously Diamine Writer's Blood.
Finally back to finish this project in Carolingian minuscule after leaving it for 7 months… I’ll take better pictures in a few days when I have better light and the correct lenses (:

Anyone need something pen-and-ink to focus on? Join my calligraphy guild's next workshop!
Wonderful instructor Judy Detrick will be teaching us a Dutch Masters script. It's a lightly gothic/somewhat secretary hand with tons of potential for wild flourishing and creative adaptation.
It's Tuesday mornings (Pacific) starting *today*, BUT recordings are available for SIX MONTHS!!

Although I have about 30 pretty fountain pens, lately I've been experiencing such joy in reaching for a bottle of ink and a simple dip pen with steel pointed nib. I have several nib holders with various nibs installed and it seems no matter which one i grab I'm enjoying the act of cursive writing. I write 1 page journal entries every few days, and i write notes and cards to people by hand now. Sometimes i use one of my fountain pens, but mostly these days i reach for a dip pen- it's so beautifully uncomplicated and immediate.
Periodically dipping the nib into the inkwell and giving a slight tap on the well or bottle lip to drop the excess off the nib before writing ten words or so... then another little dip and tap. The gentle scratching sound of the nib bouncing over loops, crosses, and dots forming words. The exquisitely fine hairline curls and luxurious thick ribbons possible with the flexible pin-sharp steel nib. The satisfaction in getting just the right amount of ink on the nib, how the ink coats the nib. There is something profoundly pleasant and comforting in this simplicity of this little ritual. It calms and soothes me....

...I don't feel the need to buy more fancy pens or fancy inks at this point. I have good paper, I have over a dozen variously colored lovely bottles of ink. I have enough fun fountain pens. And i have enough different dip pen nibs to last a long while, along with 6 inexpensive but perfectly serviceable nib holders. What i have could last me for many years.
Have i reached my 'set point'? Have I lost the need for a new pen fix in hopes of finding my own 'grail pen'? Maybe so, but the better question is am I Happy with the writing supplies I have, and the answer to that is very much yes.

Heute und morgen schreibe ich meine Osterpost. Vorfreude, die: Liste mit Adressen sortieren. Gezielt zahnschmerzsüß-niedliche Osterhäschenkarten für Personen aussuchen. Familie, Freunden und auch Fremden (ich hab da so eine Aktion laufen..) so einen kleinen Moment Freude und "Ich denke an dich" schenken können. Erwählten Füller mit derzeitiger Lieblingstinte auffüllen. Mich auf den Moment freuen, wenn ich mir diese Zeit und Ruhe nehmen kann, inmitten schönem Papier, Füllern, Tinte.
(Und ja, falls jemand Spoons für Post an mich hat - das wäre genial.

Concernant l'apprentissage de l'#écriture, je n'avais pas encore vu cette grosse initiative brésilienne et googueléenne avec des infos et des fontes pour 68 modèles d'écritures de 40 pays.

"#Primarium is a [...] educational project by TypeTogether which studied the methods of Latin script-based handwriting instruction for primary school children, spanning five continents and about one-quarter of the world.
In early 2022, independent type foundry #TypeTogether embarked on a [...] research project to explore the state of Latin script-based handwriting education in primary schools in over 40 countries [...]. The result of this [...] extensive project is Primarium, a freely accessible resource designed to serve the typographic and educational communities.
The study aims to collect and organise crucial information about #handwriting education in primary schools, including its role in #school curricula, the #handwritingmodels and resources used, and the teaching methods employed in classrooms. In an era where digital devices are increasingly prevalent, the issue of handwriting #education has become a topic of debate in educational, pedagogical, and typographical circles." #typography #lettering
Handwriting practice day again. The first line is always more stilted before I find my rhythm.
