I love copperplate engrossing. In the years (2009) since I was introduced to this beautiful form of writing, I have worked to perfect what I do. I'm not where I want to be, but I'll keep practicing and one day I will be. In the meantime, feel free to leave feedback on what you see.. A fresh perspective is always welcome. Thank you

While digging through my stash of nibs and things I found this nib in a small ziplock bag. I probably ordered it a year or so ago if my vague memory serves. A pretty neat effect I think and will experiment with it some more. The tines are very tiny and if you can see well enough in the second picture, they spread like the standard nibs. I really like how thin the individual lines are on paper. These examples are done with McCaffrey's ink in black. I like the consistency of this ink but it is a bit grayer than I'd prefer. I haven't found a black in I really like. Many are too black for my taste and I just can't seem to find the happy medium. Any suggestions besides Higgins Eternal, a sumi that I can't read the bottle, or Moon Palace (I think that was the one)?
