Grimm Brothers A Novel Journal

After having my brothers Grimm journal for over 3 years that I found at Ollies for $2.99 and not knowing what I wanted to do with it, I decided that I wanted to practice my penmanship using my new fountain pens and inks. To practice, I’m writing out the opening quotes that were used in the Grimm TV show 😁

Here’s my 1st page. I made a couple mistakes and it’s not the greatest but that’s what practice is for.

The pen is a caligraphy pen from Speedball calligraphy and the ink is Country Roads, WV from Colorverse

“Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.” F. Scott Fitzgerald #quote

“Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat” – F.Scott Fitzgerald

This quote came up in my memories today so I decided to practice my handwriting with my broad calligraphy pen and Ralph Waldo Emerson ink. ✒️✍️🖋️
