“There was no answer except the usual answer life gives to the most complicated and insoluble questions. This answer is: Carry on with your everyday affairs, that is to say, put it out of your mind”.
– Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
Isn’t it beautiful? And so true! It is one of my very favorite quotes.
I wrote this on my 40th day of writing copperplate calligraphy.
Materials used
- Leonardt Principal nib
- Tachikawa straight Holder T-25
- Noodler’s Walnut ink + Mir Gum arabic + Water
- Tomoe River paper (Cream colored, with guidesheet underneath)
I actually do not like the Tomoe River paper at all, and wouldn’t recommend it. This is one of the only times I’ve used it.
I give it another go once in a while, but I still cannot see its charm…!
