#3 Tachikawa C broad nib

Well,  I did say I'd post the good, the bad, and the ugly!  This one is pretty bad, but it's done!  This was the first time I used the new Tachikawa nib.  I really had to lean on it to keep from getting ragged edges and it slipped a bit on the Pergamenata.  I'm going to try this one again with a toothier paper and see if I can control it better.  I'm pretty rusty at the broad nibs but at least my nib isn't rusty!

I've wondered about the Tachikawa nib - thanks for sharing! I like broad edge work too, but like you, I don't get to practice it as often as I'd like.Thanks for your kind comment on my blog today! :)
