C16 THE RULING PEN
Not on Peter's list for this class, but a useful resource is Paul Shaw's informative 27-page article on the use of the ruling pen by lettering artists in Letter Arts Review (LR13.2). It covers history, types of ruling pens, and some technique – but it's not a how-to manual.
Peter Thornton always recommends these books to all his students
B187. Design with Type by Carl Dair.
B2052. The Art Spirit by Robert Henri Paper
When Peters teach his Written, Drawn & Decorated Letters class recommends the following book. (These books are NOT recommended texts for his classes at Odyssey 2010.)
B1672. Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green by Michael Wilcox. "Helpful, if heavy on text." - Peter
Peter uses the painted initials of Adolf Bernd as inspiration for this decorated letter class.
CR7.2. Calligraphy Review 7.2 Has an 8-page article on Bernd and his work.
B2081. Uncommon Numbers: A Sourcebook for Artists. A Bernd piece is reproduced on the front and the back covers.
Peter also recommends Denise Lach's Libres & egaux. for her varied layouts and refined color palette. Unfortunately it is out of print. She has a new book.
B3244. Calligraphy by Denise Lach.
Pens: Any ruling pens you already may have; some small-sized broad edged nibs and/or pointed nibs.
Ink/Paint: Walnut Ink (I53), Higgins Eternal Ink (I08), gouache colors of your choice and old brush to load.
Paper: Any textured or weightier paper than layout paper of any colors along with white or cream that are lying under your bed waiting for you to get more experienced.
Misc: A couple of quotations, I'll have plenty, that suggests gentle or tender or delicate or subtle, and one that suggests dynamic or excitement or power or somber.
Materials fee: (optional) A ruling pen can be made for you in class, $4.00 each.

I70. Moon Palace Sumi Ink
Moon Palace Sumi
The Ink is now in a bottle with a Gold Label
While the packaging is a bit different , this is the highly sought after and highly recommended Japanese Sumi Ink. For both broad edge and pointed pen work. Dries waterproof. A great calligraphy ink.
"I like Moon Palace better, but both Moon Palace and Best Bottle are beautiful inks. The Moon Palace has a slight sheen to it, which I like. Michael suggested this ink to me so please tell him I said "thank you". I just finished a job of 200 invitations with Moon Palace and the ink is beautiful. I did not dilute the ink.
A client just brought me invitations (slick paper) to address. This bride knew going in to this that I probably couldn't do pointed pen. However, for fun, I tried the Sumi inks and to my surprise they worked pretty darn good. I usually have to use a sharpie on slick envelopes, yikes!!!"
--Clair F., Jan 2011.
Three sizes:
6.0 oz (180ml) $12.95
15oz (450ml) $19.95
