I really struggle to find good paper and as you say, most envelope are not ink friendly.<br /><br />That's why when I write letters, I make my own (well, actually I don't use one at all, and instead fold my letter in a way that it's postable and sealed (like the Victorians used to do!).<br /><br />Funnily enough, I do have a parallel pen. I bought it many years ago and just got it out again but it's not working very well, the end is quite scratchy but I will investigate and may try a new version of it.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-90824887062785170602014-10-06T03:04:37.806+01:002014-10-06T03:04:37.806+01:00It is a very good idea, Frivole... ; ))It is a very good idea, Frivole... ; ))Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-54936574115161042362014-10-06T03:03:45.250+01:002014-10-06T03:03:45.250+01:00Cool comment, Kathy!Cool comment, Kathy!Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-33246346161154434672014-10-05T23:01:48.163+01:002014-10-05T23:01:48.163+01:00I think they would make lovely tatting journals. ...I think they would make lovely tatting journals.

I remember being surprised that you did calligraphy!<br /><br />One of the reasons I didn't continue with addressing wedding invitations was because I couldn't control the paper on the envelopes chosen for the invitations. (I was doing it for family members.) People are now using computers! Much less formality these days, which is understandable but sad at the same time.<br /><br />Have you heard of Pilot 'Parallel' pens? Amazing videos out there, but the pens are difficult to find. Not expensive, just not easily available. These pens look fantastic on the videos and are a major improvement in calligraphy pens! I'm looking forward to purchasing a set - about $10 per pen, in four different sizes - but I'm looking at different websites for 'deals'. Of course, there are the shipping charges to consider.
