I wrote 6 long cursive handwritten letters with pretty cards to some family and friends this week. Been meaning to do this for months, and finally got through them- the last are out for mail pickup tomorrow. Felt so good doing this!
I used both and with my lovely inks. I used waterproof inks on the outside addresses. Included a few rubber stamping and decorative stickers. I also had some pretty postage stamps to use.
I find my dip pen cursive writing is getting smaller and more delicate over time. I think that's because the metal dip nibs enable incredibly hair-fine lines as well as the juiciest flex lines you can imagine.
So satisfying! (and extra thanks to LuciaG for added inspo)

@penfount
Two were to my nephew and my only cousin, neither of whom I've ever written 'letters' to.
And one was a loving letter and valentine card to my younger daughter (in her 40s), who is alone this valentine's day after just breaking up with a boyfriend last week. <3

@redbanjer @penfount reminds me I need to finish my letter.
