The fenced pen makes for a protected area for the horses to run, eat and pal around!

Happy Fence Friday

Macro Mondays - “Pick Two” theme

A small selection of what I make when I'm not taking photos. Just a pure hobby, not a business. The Pens are made from Acrylic and rare woods that are responsibly sourced.

Call me 'old fashioned' but I still prefer my fountain pen to a ball point. HMM

I learned technical drawing at school with this kind of pens (Rotring Isograph).

The pens on the picture deliver lines of respective thicknesses 0.20mm (8 Mil), 0.35mm, 0.5mm and 0.7mm.

They could be a delight to use, delivering perfect lines with a constant thickness and a deep black color if you were in a good day.

They could also be a source of frustration and refuse to get enough ink on the paper... or drip on an almost finished drawing.

But with hindsight, this had mostly to do with how good you took care of them and how relaxed you were when using them. 😉

Amazing extra feature: you could erase mistakes once the ink had dried by carefully scratching the paper with a razor blade.

My dear cousin Mark brought me home this quirky souvenir from his recent cruise. I guess it could be used in a home office so I thought to offer it for Office Supplies this week.

The background squared paper is from my menu calendar.

😄 HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday 😄

For the SoS group: 'Feathers'

Feathers have been surrounding us for ages .... and through those ages we have used feathers in so many ways (and still do!) I've chosen just one, how feathers were used in writing.

"After thousands and thousands of years using reeds for pens, the quill pen was created in the 5-6th century in Seville, Spain. They were widely used, and the best ones were made from swan feathers, while poorer folk invested into goose feathers"

Pen-y-pass is a mountain pass in Snowdonia, Gwynedd, north-west Wales.

It is a popular location from which to walk up Snowdon, as three of the popular routes can be started here. Glyder Fawr, to the north, is also accessible from here.

Writing with a rollerball pen is a treat for your hand. The liquid water-based ink flows almost automatically; you can simply let the pen rest on the paper. A rollerball pen combines the ease of a ballpoint pen with the writing sensation of a fountain pen.

Downside: a rollerball pen is unsuitable for smooth or thin paper. The ink does not lie on the paper, but soaks into it. This does not work with smooth paper and the ink can bleed through with thin paper.

As seen at the pen show in London this year. I came home with a couple of bottles of ink!

It doesn't matter which pen to use the important and choose the right words ...

…second user with low shutter count which arrived yesterday.

As soon as I gave my original Pen F away, I regretted it. I still think the mono profile 2 results surpass the EM1 mk3 plus it’s a stunning retro design.

Pont Pen y Llyn,

[ Pen y Llyn Bridge ] Brynrefail.

This stone bridge was built in 1826 to connect the Fachwen Slate Quarry to the Main Road from Caernarfon to Llanberis.

It has four arches and crosses the River Rhythallt, the outlet of Llyn Padarn.

Pen y Llyn means - " End of the lake "

Before the bridge was built, legendary strong woman Marged ferch Ifan used to row passed here when transporting copper ore

for 7km in her self-made boat.

Macro is a big challenge. First, there's the idea to have. Second, there's the artistry to make. Thirdly, there's the photograph. I often get stuck In the first two stages. So here's my pen pot, not especially artistic, but it is colourful.

Took so many for this weeks theme, so many choices!

HMM! Opening
