  1. Has anyone used Dr Ph Martin's iridescent / metallic ink(s) for dip pens?

    What was your experience like? Did you use black/dark paper or light paper or both? TYSM!

  2. As notetaking, no-fuss, no-mess pen where you don't suffer a financial hit buying two, the Faber-Castell "Broadpen Document" is a pretty nice choice. Sorry if I'm late to the party. (Also, hinthint, gifts for people that have a lot but could stand searching for a working pen less…)

    #boring, not strictly #caligraphy; #giftideas maybe.

  3. The letter Alef is not just the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet; it is a symbol of beginnings and holds a special place in various aspects of Hebrew life and learning.

    Unlike the English alphabet, where letters like A, B, and C are just symbols with associated sounds, Hebrew letters have names and meanings. The Hebrew equivalent of the letter A is Alef א pronounced 'a-lef.

    In the Hebrew calendar, the first day of every month is /'a-lef/ followed by the Hebrew "in [the Hebrew month name].

    The first grade in Israeli schools is called /kee-'tah 'a-lef/ כִּתָּה א, marking the beginning of a child's formal education.

    So while we always call this letter Alef, we can write it אָלֶף ir in short א with or without a ' sign to its left.

    Alef functions as both a vowel and a consonant (following my method for learning Hebrew).

  4. zomg, this is fantastic - from the Getty Open Content collection.

    These illustrations were created in the 1500s by Joris Hoefnagel (Flemish, / Hungarian, 1542 - 1600) as guides on constructing the letters of the alphabet.

    Here are a few of them - you can find more of his work here: getty.edu/art/collection/searc
