Have I mentioned that I am a Font Junky? It's a real thing. Ask the memory on my computer - totally crammed with the burden of storing my insane number of fonts. I love paper. Just paper - all kinds. My sister and I used to play office when we were kids. We just couldn't get enough of scrap paper, old computer paper {remember the green and white striped printer paper with the holes on the sides?}, carbon copy paper! Oh my, it was just too much fun for 2 little girls to handle. :) Not surprisingly, when I grew up I started my own invitation and stationery business. Custom printing was my forte. I had experience in word processing AND fine arts {and many other very random things}. It came naturally, and so did my love of typeface. I collected fonts like I collect vintage goodies. I followed typeface blogs back when I didn't know they were called blogs. I think I thought it was a newsletter. :) Anywho... I closed my business about 2 years ago to focus on my job as mommy. My daughter was about 1-1/2 years old and crazy into everything. She wasn't like my son, who would be content to play with Thomas trains for eons. She flitted from one dangerous thing to another. To be privy to her brainwaves would be mind boggling to me. SO BUSY, I tell you! She needed more than constant supervision, she needed a full time bodyguard. Closing my business was not an easy decision, as it was one of my babies, too. But I didn't want to compromise my family for my business. And it was nearly impossible to slow it down and make any profit at all. So, 2 years have gone by, and my love affair with paper and FONTS lives on. I have compiled 30 FREE Halloween fonts here for your viewing pleasure. :) You've probably seen some before, but hopefully I threw in a couple new ones for you. I tried to include a good variety of classic Halloween, kid-friendly and downright creepy fonts. I also included a dingbat font at the bottom because, well, look at it! It's scary cute! You can find the majority of these available for download at DaFont.com. It is a wonderful free font site. I have used it for years. If you need help finding or downloading fonts, just email me and I'll see what I can do. A Charming Font, A Lolita Scorned, Blackwood Castle, Bleeding Cowboys, Black Widow, Bleeding Freaks, Buffied, Creature, Dracula, Dread, Endor, Fiddums Family, Frankendork [outline], Frankie, Ghoulish, Haunt, Haunting Attraction, Horror Hotel, JI Pumpkins, Jack Lantern, KR Along Came a Spider, Kreepy Krawly, Trinigan {Nightmare Before Christmas}, Nightmare, October Crow, Sanctuary, Sketch Bones, Spinstee, Zombie H {the H is Holocaust, but I'm not a fan of that name}, MTF Sweet Halloween Dings I will most likely be adding some Halloween printable freebies on here soon, too! So check back or follow along if you like. If you create anything with one of these, please share. I'd love to see it! *Yes, I realize that this really has nothing to do with vintage, but like Shrek, I am like an onion - many layers. It's been on repeat in the car lately. :) Sometimes I link up with the following fabulous linky parties: The 36th Avenue, A Ruffled Nest, At the Picket Fence, Be Different Act Normal,Between Naps on the Porch, Beyond the Picket Fence, Blissful & Domestic, Bowdabra Blog, Cheerios and Lattes, The Chicken Chick, Coastal Charm, Common Ground, Country Momma Cooks, Crystal & Co (The Mommy Club), The Dedicated House, DIY Show Off, Elizabeth & Co., Embracing Change, Faded Charm, Family Every After, The Farmhouse Porch, Finding Fabulous, Fine Craft Guild, Fireflies and Jellybeans, Free Pretty Things!, French Country Cottage, Fresh Eggs Daily, Ginger Snap Crafts, Happy Hour Projects, High Heels and Grills, Home stories AtoZ, House of Hepworths, Hubby Made Me, I Heart Naptime, Lil' Luna, Ladybird Ln, Life on Lakeshore Drive, Little Becky Homecky, Mandatory Mooch, Milk & Cuddles, Mod Vintage Life, My Repurposed Life, My Romantic Home, My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia, Nap Time Crafters, Nifty Thrifty Things, Not Just a Housewife, One More Time, Project Inspire, Primp Your Stuff, Redoux, Rooted in Thyme, Savvy Southern Style, Shabby Art Boutique, Simple Home Life, Six Sisters' Stuff, Skip to My Lou, Someday Crafts, The Shabby Creek Cottage, Stuff and Nonsense, Tatertots and Jello, Thirty Handmade Days, Tip Junkie, Twigg Studios, Uncommon Designs, Under the Table & Dreaming, The Vintage Farmhouse, ...

Take your design game to the next level with a hyper realistic font that truly looks hand painted. **Hunters** uses brand new font technology that makes way for more authentic looking fonts and is sure to grab the attention of customers and designers alike. Each letter was carefully painted dozens of times until deemed perfect, and then edited to get the texture absolutely perfect. **So how does it work?** Instead of vectorizing the letters, Hunters uses actual images and transparency effects in order to get the quality that you see. This is all made possible thanks to the latest developments of the OpenType-SVG format, and the integration of that technology into **Photoshop CC 2017.1.1 and Illustrator CC 2018**. Hunters installs like any other font, and can be used in any color, on any background. Check out the example video to see everything this font can do! --- What’s included: **OpenType-SVG Font** - This is the main font file containing all the hyper realistic effects. **OpenType-SVG Font Alternates** - This has alternate letters for all of the lowercase characters, so you can mix things up a little bit **Regular Fonts (TTF/OTF)** - Each of the OpenTypeSVG fonts are available as a regular vectorized font. These can be used with any program that accepts custom fonts. **Brushes** - Each character in the OpenType-SVG font is also available as a brush. These brushes are very high resolution and are great for users who cannot use the OpenType-SVG font, but want to get the exact same end results. --- Requirements: **You need to be using Photoshop CC 2017.1.1 or Illustrator CC 2018 (or later versions) in order for the OpenType-SVG font to work.** --- **Don’t have the latest Photoshop?** You still have options! Each letter is also available as a Photoshop brush. Load these brushes into any version of Photoshop, and form your words with all the same detail offered by the OpenType-SVG font. Also, we’ve included a vector version of the font. --- **Supported Languages** - French, Spanish, English, Catalan, Galician, Basque, Portuguese, Italian, Albanian, Afrikaans, Dutch, German, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Faroese, Icelandic, Irish and Scottish. --- Thanks for checking out this font. I hope you enjoy it! Greg

So you've finally got your fountain pen, but you're not sure How To Hold A Fountain Pen. Be sure to read this comprehensive post on ways to hold a fountain pen: left-handed, standard grip, and more!

Hey everyone! It’s Kelly from Here Comes the Sun. Ashley has graciously let me take over her site today so I can guest post on one of my favorite topics, graphic design. Specifically, how to digitize your own handwriting. Let’s talk handwriting. Do you love yours? Mine is so-so. I’ve been practicing my hand lettering […]

The fact is that numerological numbers, determined by assigning a number to each letter of an individual’s name as well as the day of birth as they appears on the birth certificate, are unique to each and every person. In simple terms, numerological numbers are calculated by taking the sum of these numbers and combining them in a variety of ways. Generally, they are then interpreted and presented in a numerology report. However, with knowledge and understanding you can do this yourself. A comprehensive numerology report may initially appear somewhat intimidating as it may likely contain information derived from a

I have posted a number of drawings and sketches done with pens over the years but I thought that perhaps a little about pens may be helpful. It's a rather long post that has been added to and updated and the layout has gone silly however much I try to tidy it up. There's a separate post about Lamy pens and I will produce another post about other pens I've tried that haven't made it into my sketching kit for whatever reason. My love affair with fountain pens goes back over 40 years but here are a few favourites for drawing. Platinum Carbon Pen This is a lovely, inexpensive, and very fine pen available from Platinum - the Platinum Carbon Pen. It is a desk pen design with a long tapering handle, light-weight plastic case and an extra fine (superfine) or medium nib. Being from Japan the extra fine is finer than a European EF nib so it produces a very fine line. There is a very little flex in this nib though I would not call it a flexible nib. With pressure you may be able to double the width of the line but it is best to enjoy the ease of drawing with it without pressure. It is designed to use the Platinum Carbon Ink, either in cartridges or refilled from a bottle into a converter. I haven't tried it with any other inks as I suspect they may flow too quickly but it is great with the carbon ink - it has an extra large feed to allow the ink to flow. Platinum Carbon Ink is waterproof once dry. This is not This is not an expensive pen at about US$13.50 or so. You will find it at Jetpens.com, who stock a large range of Japanese pens and will ship internationally. Here is the link. Here is is in a Platinum desk stand. Pilot Desk Pen in Platinum pen stand Pilot Desk Pens in black and red Very similar looking is the Pilot Desk Pen. It is almost identical in look and feel though the nib is slightly different from the Platinum and it doesn't have the more generous feed so I use these with De Atramentis Document inks. I presume it might block with the carbon ink but haven't tried it. It comes in black or red/maroon. Both these pens have worked faultlessly for some months. They are inexpensive but a little fragile, simply due to their long tapering handle, which could break if they are not carried carefully. Some choose to cut off the long tail so they can post the cap on the end. I rather like the balance of the pen with its long tail. It is really lovely to use with a responsive nib and a smooth ink flow. They are a similar price to the Carbon pen though I would definitely buy a converter with this if you want to be able to use waterproof ink. (Also available through Jetpens.com) 2019 update. A desk pen is also available from Sailor. Here is a link for Australia. The sketches below were created using the pilot desk pen with black De Atramentis ink. This is an A4 Moleskine sketchbook and you can see how fine these lines are. Sketching in the flower and cloud domes at the Bay Gardens, Singapore. Sailor Fude nib 40º Fude nibs are very interesting to use. Rather like the preference for a pointed brush or a dagger brush, the Fude nib and will appeal to some where a finer nib will appeal to others. I prefer pointed brushes and fine nibs, but I also like fine detail :-) Especially useful for writing Chinese or Japanese characters, these pens can give very expressive and creative lines to a drawing as the thickness of the line can be adjusted by changing the angle of the nib on the page. The Blue Sailor model is shown here, with a 40º nib. The green model has a 55º nib. I always choose to buy the converter though the pens you buy may come with a cartridge. A converter allows you to fill the pen with your own ink and you may choose whether you use waterproof or non-waterproof inks depending what effects you are after. Alternatively, you can use a syringe and refill a cartridge yourself but it can be a messy process! Here you can see the amazing range of pen widths possible with this pen - from very broad to quite fine. It is worth trying both models to see which nib angle suits you best. Exploring the Sailor Fude pen with 40 degree nib. Sailor Fude pen with 55º nib They are rather long pens, especially with the caps posted on the end. They are not elegant but are fun to use and many artists are doing wonderful drawings with them. With water-soluble ink and a water-brush they are lovely for quick sketches, especially with a brown ink, though do check what colours appear when you wet the brown ink. Some go very red/purple or otherwise strange! I am using a Monteverde Brown ink when I want a water-soluble brown that doesn't go strange in wash. This ink comes in cartridges that fit into a Lamy pen. I haven't tested it for lightfastness so only use it in a sketchbook. Below is the Hero 7032, with a nib at about the same angle as the green 55 degree Sailor. You can see the range of lines that can be created with the Fude style nib. I bought this one from Straights Art in Singapore for less than S$20. Hero pen And here you can see the nibs close-up - that look as though they have been dropped! The left is the Hero, then the Green Sailor then the Blue Sailor. Parka has created a great comparison of a number of Fude nibs that you can view here. If you do a search of his blog you can find more reviews of a huge range of art tools including pens, brushes and watercolours as well as hundreds of books. Fude nibs - Hero, Sailor 55º and Sailor 40º nibs Update 2019 - for a really large fude nib, look for the Duke 551 Confucious Fude nib. Many sketchers love this pen, though it isn't one I'd want to own as it is very large and quite heavy. Here's the link to Amazon. Update - Next up is the Sailor 1911 EF. Being a Sailor, this is a very fine nib - as mentioned the Japanese EF nibs are super-fine. It has a little flex but is very good for drawing fine detail. However, as it is a 14K gold nib it is far more expensive than the Carbon Pen or the Desk Pen shown above, though it creates a similar line. I use it with a converter with either the Sailor Nano ink or the De Atramentis Black Document ink. I use it for sketching but also for fine writing, especially labelling colour charts! Sailor 1911 pen with EF nib Sailor 1911 pen - EF nib. Here you can see the nib a little closer. There are some fascinating nibs available from Sailor, including the King of Nibs, which is designed to create lines of all sorts of widths depending on how you hold it, music nibs, and many others. Finding the type of nib to suit your own purposes can take time, but is well worth the effort. Pilot/Namiki Falcon/Elabo fountain pens. The last pens for now are the Namiki/Pilot Falcon flex pens, also called Elabo, and available in resin or metal bodied versions. These are a pricier option at around US$144 at Goulet Pens as they have a 14K gold nib, but it is a wonderful flexible nib that will create thick or thin lines with ease. Available in Soft F and Soft M, and Soft Broad, they are a joy to use but interestingly the desk pens above create the finest lines. The black/rhodium model is also available in a Soft EF - I use this for black ink. These interesting nibs can be used for fine lines, expressive lines and also turned upside-down for very broad (though erratic) lines, as the whole of the flat of the beak-shaped nib can be dragged along the page. The grey lines of this sketch were created with the Falcon, with the deeper shadows produced by using the pen upside-down. Cliffs sketched with the Pilot Falcon pen with my mixed grey document ink. I use the Soft F models for grey and brown, with the De Atramentis document inks. I mix my own grey by mixing equal quantities of the Brown and the Blue and adding a few drops of thinner. There is a Fog Grey document Ink available but it is really just a dark blue so not worth getting sadly. Writing with the Falcon - F nib in Document Brown, EF nib in Document Black. There is a gorgeous YouTube video that showcases this pen, though with a 'Spencerian modification' to make the nib finer and even more flexible for writing. It is mesmerising :-) Have a look here. I find the Soft Fine wonderful for drawing and writing without the modification but for Spencerian or Copperplate writing it would be gorgeous. I love these pens. As mentioned, they are also available with a metal body though mine are resin and I like the light-weight feel of them for drawing. The F is smoother to write and draw with though of course the EF is finer. Above left is the F, above right is the EF. Neither have the Spencerian modification as I bought these for drawing. The Pilot falcon nib up close and personal - the beak shape is interesting for upside-down effects. A blunt needle syringe - great for filling fountain pens Update: Many people find that when they refill a fountain pen using a converter, the bladder of the converter doesn't completely fill. The way I solve this is to use a syringe with a blunt needle to top up the ink directly into the converter. (These are available on eBay, through Gouletpens, from pharmacies etc.) It is yet another tool to carry around but it is also very useful for making custom ink mixes as it is easy to get the exact proportions of the colours you are using, or to get the last ink from a bottle or to transfer from one bottle to another. While a syringe without the blunt needle would be useful, the needle does make it much less messy to fill fountain pens and is worth getting hold of. Nalgene wide-neck bottles I find the tiny Nalgene bottles, pictured left and available from camping stores, fantastic for carrying ink with me safely. I use the little 15ml and 30ml wide mouthed models. To see some more of my pen and ink work, visit my website and look at the plein air sketches tab, or see this blog post. Update - another couple of favourites that I've added to my Blog - the Lamy Safari, Joy and Al-Star pens (I have many of these and they deserved their own post) and the TWSBI Diamond 580 that you can read about here. In my post about my Sketching Tools, I also show some lovely Pilot piston filled pens here. The TWSBI and Pilot Custom pens are great for sketching as they hold larger volumes of ink. I've created a post in inks for fountain pens here. For more information on pens, see the Goulet Pens website, with wonderful reviews, ink comparisons and videos; Larrypost in Australia, which is a largely online store specailising in all things sketching; Jetpens, who specialise in Japanese pens; Pen Chalet or your local pen shop :-) There is a Japanese website to explore for a greater range of Japanese pens too. You may also enjoy Tina's Epic Pen Search which runs over 11 parts, leading to a very well researched pen purchase, the first of which is here - it's wonderful! And a great way to see a range of pens in action. Also look at Parka's many product reviews on parkablogs.com Finally, I found this handy guide while Googling but am not sure where it came from. I'll add an acknowledgement when I find it. I believe they are Pilot pens.

One of the most important aspects of using fountain pens is cleaning them. With regular and proper cleaning, your fountain pens should last for a very long time without any issues. Without regular …
