White House calligrapher, Pat Blair, recommends them.
I recommend them, even though I don't allow myself to have one....I get so little done even with my modest supply of supplies.

  1. The long S's are very elegant and the white ink is very opaque. Nice

    go to John Neal's site, do a search in the search box for
    BR50
    there is a PDF with info about them.

    If I had one, I would never stop playing with it....

  4. no...the PDF link does not seem to be working. if it was, it would probably say this:
    Golden Tacklon Miracle Wedge 7900

    The Miracle Wedge features a triangular ferrule. This brush is used much the same as the Dagger Striper. The unique feature of the Miracle-Wedge is it can be triple loaded. It can be loaded on each side with a different color of paint and each will flow independently.

    Short black handle, synthetic La Corneille Golden Taklon. Absorbent, durable, versatile, excellent spring and fine chisel edge. Great for acrylic, oil, watercolor, all media. The most popular, widely used brush for decorative painting.
