ZEnTAngLE®The world of Zentangle® is evolving, growing and expanding. These intriguing patterns all begin with simple lines; the spaces are filled in, one step at a time. There are no mistakes, only opportunities. Every tangle becomes more attractive and complex as areas are filled. Like life, the designs develop into something unique and beautiful as they grow. Any image with open spaces provides a perfect canvas for “Zentangling.” Rubber stamps with outline images provide the perfect starting point for both skilled artists and those who think they can’t draw. These versatile graphics can be used to decorate any surface. Calligraphers and graphic artists find tangling particularly appealing. It is a relaxing and expressive art form. It is guided doodling using texture and pattern and is meditative. It will help you learn to focus, relax your mind, and can boost your creative confidence. But beware – this is highly addictive fun. 3.5”x3.5” squares of art paper provide the surface. Artist Trading Card blanks work too.

He then applied the gesso to his quill or pen from the dappen dish. $1.85 each S620-12. Box of 12 dappen dishes. $19.70. You save $2.50. Purchase two or more boxes and pay only $18.00 each.

Easy to write on and a little thicker than most text weight papers, it is great for certificates and one-off pieces. A paper you will use again & again. Give it a try. The New Diploma Parchment is a warm beige (off-white) and recommended by Vivian Mungall. The old Diploma Parchment was a yellowish cream. "This paper is beautiful. When I first put my pen on this paper I was amazed at how lovely it is, much bet-ter than the old Diploma Parchment. I create many corporate documents (resolutions), and I like how the paper gilds and takes paint. We print logos with our Epson 3800 (a small professional printer) and the paper takes the ink beautifully. There is no feather-ing or bleeding. It is the same with the ink from my pen. The new Diploma Parchment has been great. I recommend it. It is a nice weight and is also fine for handmade books." – Rosemary Buczek. 17"x22". $1.20 per sheet / 10 sheets $9.95 34"x22". $2.25 per sheet

SCHMINCKE GOUACHEThis difficult-to-find Germangouache is highly recommendedby Michael Sull for its brightness,smooth flow and lightfastness.Because mica instead of metal par-ticles is used, the metallics will notdarken over time and because themica can be more finely ground, itflows through a pen much better. Alsorecommended by Katrina Berry andothers. Schmincke gold pearl is ourbestselling gold gouache. 20 ml tubes.

When using a fresh tube, squeeze out the clear stuff (glyc-erin) until you get dense pigment. This glycerin helps keepthe gouache from drying in the tube but will keep yourwork from drying as well. This gouache reconstitutes easily

John Stevens uses these round ferrule, chisel-edge Rekab brushes for smaller Roman lettering as well as for a variety of other styles. John uses these along with flat ferrule chisel edged brushes for his brush lettering. These quality sable brushes, imported from Israel, with proper care will last for 20 years or more. These are called “Showcard” or “One Stroke Brushes.” They are more versatile than flat ferrule, chisel edge brushes, but take a bit more skill to use. John recommends the #5 to start with.

QuoTATionSB3313. The Joy of Gardening: An Inspirational Anthology edited by Eileen Campbell. 2010. 224pp. 4.5"x6". Paper $11.95 Features a rich selection of inspi-rational quotations from gardeners past and present, as well as from poets, painters, novelists, diarists,

and spiritual teachers. The quotes capture the joy of being alive that gardening evokes. Gardens can make us happy, heal us when sad or depressed, and help us understand the relationship between ourselves and nature. A great gift for gardeners.

B3328. Wabi Sabi: The Art of Everyday Life edited by Diane Durston. 2006. 368pp. 4.25"x4.25". Paper $8.95 This engaging little book is full of gems: bits of wisdom on imperma-

nence, imperfection, simplicity, humility, sincerity, harmony, purity, tranquility, and contentment. The collection illuminates the concept of wabi sabi. Annie Cicale recommends the book as a source of thoughts for your calligraphic projects.

B3008. it Takes a long Time to Become Young by Richard Kehl. 2008. 56pp. 5"x9.5".

Like each of Kehl’s quote books, this one reflects his wide reading and long collecting rather

than the recombination of other people’s gleanings so common in other volumes. “Just remember, once you’re over the hill, you begin to pick up speed.”-Charles Schultz.

Fine pApeRS FoR CAlliGRApHeRSExcept as noted, all these papers have been chosen for their suitability for broad edge calligraphy. Which side is the right side to write on? The side that takes the ink the best. On laid finish papers, one side will be smoother than the other. Experiment. If you experience slight bleeding, try sumi ink or gouache on the same paper. It should work fine. BeGinneRS: Try the inexpensive Ingres papers. Diploma Parchment is also a good bet. If you have a client that wants a 100% cotton sheet, Arches Watercolor HP is especially pen friendly. PRACTICE ON FINE PAPER?!?A number of instructors recommend this. Why? If you only practice on practice paper, you only become ac-complished at practice. Instead, think of writing on fine paper. Think of your practice always as finished pieces. You become focused in your practice – finished pieces are only more practice! SHippinG: Because we can’t ship these large sheets with other books and supplies, we charge a separate paper shipping charge. See “PAPER ORDERING INFORMA-TION.”

Beginners need a non-waterproof ink such as Higgins eternal for dip pen use. While other inks are blacker, Hig-gins Eternal is easy to use and is inexpensive. Some inks like the sumis are more water resistant & others, like Calli and FW inks, are actually waterproof. For FOUNTAIN PENS use only inks that say on the bottle that they are for use in fountain pens. Dye inks (such as Pelikan 4001) flow dependably and are good for correspondence and roughs. Though waterproof, Calli is designed for fountain pens. Unless the bottle says an ink is suitable for fountain pens (not technical pens) it may clog your fountain pen and perhaps ruin it.

Copperplate / Spencerian SuppliesCopperplate and Spencerian have gained in popularity as calligraphers expand their repertoire of letterforms. The thicks & thins are caused by varying the pressure on a flexible point – a worthwhile discipline to learn. All calligraphy, as Lloyd Reynolds noted, is a series of move-ments involving touch.

To learn Copperplate or Spencerian order the Cop-perplate Kit (page 48) or the Spencerian Kit (page 45). After you have some experience, order the nib sampler to try out the range of nibs.

BeGinneRS: The most popular nibs are Brause 66eF, Gillott 303, Hiro #40, Hunt 101, and nikko G. Righthanders will need an oblique pen holder. Lefthanders use either a straight holder or an oblique holder. All will need a bottle of Higgins eternal (I08, $21.95), which is improved by the addition of 10 or 20 drops of Gum Arabic (I84, $13.60).

Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy (B1109, $14.95) by Eleanor Winters is a good book for beginners. In the book, Eleanor recommends the Gillott 404 & Gillott 303. Denys Taipale always taught copperplate with Brause 66eF nibs and Higgins Eternal with Gum Ara-bic. Other teachers opt for a stiffer nib for beginners.

In her excellent article on pointed nibs in Bound & Lettered (TAB2.4, $8.50), Caroline Paget Leake notes that Gillott 404 and Hunt 56 are sturdy and durable, making them excellent for student practice.

For Spencerian, Michael Sull recommends the Hunt 22, Hunt 56, nikko G, along with Hunt 101, Hunt 99 and the Gillott 404. Pointed nibs (also called pen points) are of various sizes and don’t all fit in the same holders. The Ziller Oblique Holders are already adjusted for specific nibs. You may need to adjust the Century and Zanerian Oblique Holders. The Blackwell Oblique Holders work with almost all nibs.

Michael Sull on Spencerian Materials:pen poinTS: For beginners Michael highly recom-mends the Nikko G Nib and Hunt 56. He also recom-mends Hunt 22, EF Principal, along with Hunt 101, Hunt 99, and Gillott 404.

inK: Higgins Eternal (I08, $3.30) will work fine and is improved by a little evaporation. For finest hairlines, Michael recommends McCaffrey’s Black Penman Ink (I37, $6.50), as well as the colors, page 58. By adding a little Higgins Eternal to Bokuju Vermillion (I23, $8.60), you can create a wonderful sepia. Use a dropper to add Higgins Eternal, using a coffee stirrer to mix. McCaffrey’s Brown is excellent as well. Dr.Martin’s Bleedproof White (I38, $10.00) is Michael’s personal favorite white. Thin with water. He likes McCaffrey’s Ivory (I37-WHT, $6.50) too. Michael recommends a cushion of blotting paper under your writing sheet. It facilitates writing.

EF Principal Nib After a year in develop-ment, you can now purchase a modern nib that is equal to the best of the vintage nibs. Brian Walker, a respected pointed pen enthusiast, has worked with a pen manufacturer to duplicate the quality and performance of the legendary Gillott No 1 Principality.

B3334. 100 Flowers: Chinese Techniques for Painting Flowers by Yang O-shi. 240pp. 8.25"x12". Paper $35.00 Victoria Pittman has taught a popular flower painting class for many years at the summer calligraphy conference. Her flowers are made with

a few strokes - ideal for envelopes, cards and small cal-ligraphic pieces. As a resource for that class, she highly recommends this book: "This is a particularly good book, with many great examples and great illustra-tions." It provides sequential steps for painting 100 different flowers, from simple to fairly complex, along with finished paintings. Does not cover the basics of watercolor, just painting these flowers.

John stevensb2982. John stevens: Calligraphy, Design, Lettering art. 2010. Approx. 160pp.8.5"x11". Hardcover $49.95. pre-publication price $34.95 A profusely illustrated, full-color retrospective of John Stevens’ work with letterforms. Includes calligraphy and letter-ing – artworks, personal work, experimental work, commissioned work – as well as graphic work and type design. His body of work spans paper to stone, books to walls, handlettering to type and the digital realm. In the text, John presents his approach to a design or work and his thoughts on letterforms, and continues with a discussion on tools, teaching, design, and writing in general. Using his body of work as example, he makes the case that barriers between fine arts and graphic arts are mostly irrelevant.
