I know it's out there! But you are right, this brown is lovely in its own way.<br /><br />You are very kind to reference "a critical eye" as opposed to a merely cranky one. Crankiness is more how it feels some days and that too can move you forward. ;-)<br /><br />Chris - I so agree with your mother. Mastering some of these new tools and techniques really does feel like a war at times. Looking forward to hearing about your own trials (and tribulations?)with a fountain pen.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-88718154590773753272016-02-11T07:52:36.429-08:002016-02-11T07:52:36.429-08:00Good to see a post from you.....I have not tried o...Good to see a post from you.....I have not tried out my fountain pen yet that I got for Christmas. Looks like they can act up a little or not give you the results you expect. <br /><br />Or as my mother would say when an appliance was not behaving as she wanted...."it's fighting me." I guess appliances had personalities from my mother's perspective! Maybe fountain pens do, too.<br /><br />Glad to read your blog before I adventure out into using my pen.<br /><br />ChrisChristine Staverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411569621417693487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-8977028598860727772016-02-11T06:05:52.179-08:002016-02-11T06:05:52.179-08:00And I was just thinking "how lovely" tha...And I was just thinking "how lovely" that brown is! <br /><br />Still, a critical eye drives you forward. <br /><br />H xxx Living to work - working to livehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355154288430953478noreply@blogger.com
