My "Gloopy" Alef
The 7th yeria was just going swimmingly – no quill issues, good clean klaf, and then:
Blorp!
- the quill just belched forth this massive amount of ink and my beautiful Alef turned into, well, what you see above.
Usually, after dipping the quill in the ink, one can drain off the excess by touching the underside of the quill gently to the side of the inkwell and holding it there for a moment.
However, one in a rare while a tiny bubble forms inside the quill that, upon popping, results what you see above. Sigh.
Time to shave, scrape, sand, erase, score and rewrite.
At least it’s only 1 letter!
