M89B. Cocoiro Brush Tip.
This brush refill is nylon, about ⅓
shorter than the Pentel ColorBrush
and much slimmer. Very responsive
and nice flowing. Recommended by
Elissa Barr. $3.50
Wink of Stella
M91. Zig Wink of Stella Marker.
This marker is glittery, but with a
more subtle sparkle than our other
metallic pens. Rather than being a
rollerball like most “glitter” pens, the
0.8mm tip performs more like a
felt-tip marker. The sparkles seem to
be more evenly distributed than
other pens/markers. Clear is the
most popular – use it to add a bit of
sparkle on top paint, ink & other
markers. Choose Color: Black, Blue,
Brown, Clear, Dark Pink, Gold,
Green, Light Green, Orange, Pink,
Silver, Violet, Yellow. $2.95.

E12. Peel Off Magic Rub Eraser.
You can buy fancier versions of a
white plastic eraser in pencil form,
but this old standby works just as
well. You peel off a protective paper
as you use the eraser. Use for erasing
pencil. Non-abrasive. This is Reggie
Ezell's “Faber/Casell Magic Rub
#1960 Eraser.” $1.35

students use a lead
holder with a 2mm
lead which can be
sharpened to a fine

marks after it was tested by his class
at Calligraphy Northwest. Reggie
prefers a drum sharpener over a
mini-sharpener for sharpening
these thick leads. $6.95

For some of us, drawing a smooth
curve can be difficult freehand, but it’s
a cinch with this ingenious tool. It is
easily bent to a particular curve or
wave and then holds its shape. As you
make small adjustments, it maintains
a smooth curve. By tracing along both
sides you can create two parallel
guidelines. You can repeat these
curved guidelines down a page, or
alter the curve/wave.

Comments from Sandy Wagner
on Arches MBM:It has a lovely
watermark. I first used it at
a Peter Thornton workshop
drawing the Adolf Bernd letters.
It takes water media really
nicely and no, it doesn't bleed.
It’s just a really nice all-round
paper. It’s a little heavier than
the Canson Ingres. Like the other
Ingres papers, it’s laid only on
one side. The other side is cold
pressed similar to Arches Text.
So bookmakers might have some
considerations in laying out
their signatures, although I have
a nice stab bound book with the
cold-pressed surface facing the
laid surface.

Journey by Gina

Spiral bound.
Paper $24.95
A new approach to calligraphy for
all levels which acquaints the scribe
with the essential but largely
unexplored dynamics of stroke
technique. Through stroke exercises
with pencil and edged pen you
explore vital movement and
sensitive touch. You discover how
shoulder, arm, fingers, and pen
combine with alternating of
pressure. The exercises lead to an
intimate understanding of the edged
pen: a foundation for formal
alphabet study, creative alphabet
design, and artistic self-expression.
Luca Barcellona shatters
the boundaries as he
blends his street
sensibility with fine
penmanship.
