This is from Hadley, one of our college student exchangers. I like the alternative positioning of the stamp. The artwork is also very nice. I'm not home so I can't look at it closely to see if it's been done with a regular tool or if Hadley is dipping into the world of dip pens.
Maybe today is the day to make a list of every single writing tool that we might consider for our experiment to apply every single tool to every single style of writing to see what we get.
Here are the tools.
Please email me or leave a comment if I have forgotten any.
I will not include anything that is not USPS friendly, like charcoal. It has to be tools and mediums that will stick to the envelopes.
Graphite pencils
Colored pencils
Carpenters pencils
Ball point pens
Gel pens
Markers - many sub-groups - based on the type of tip, the size, the shape, the amount of flexibility. We will have to come back and decide how many of these to include.
Brushes - flat and round are two huge categories. Sizes are wildly different. And then there is the medium so we have to figure out how to include those variations and how many to include.
Nibs - pointed and broad edge -and- the very cool scroll-tip nibs
Folded pens
Optional -
bamboo pens
and there must be others.
I'll be curious how many writing tools I have forgotten.
Tomorrow we list the styles
