Day 4 of 21 Today we’re (that’s all of the South African FP community) challenging our friends @fountainpenday to join us and show us what they got! The Task - Draw a House . . . with your left hand! (Or right hand for the lefty’s) Today's task is going to make you uncomfortable. Have you ever tried to throw a ball with your left arm? It’s jolly difficult. And writing with your left hand is equally as challenging, if not more. If writing normally helps you to disconnect, writing with your non-dominant hand will disconnect you completely. The concentration of it leaves no room for straying thoughts. Have Fun! “Pro tip” - I used a Kaweco PERKEO. The triangular grip section helped my grip. The Lamy Safari will do the same and a few others. * Don’t forget to post your homes to your IG / FB and tag us along with the hashtag #21daystocreate #21daystocreate #writegear #lockdown #covid-19 #creativity #fountainpen #lettering #showsomelove #happysun #happyhome #fountainpenday #drawing #art #lefthanded

Day 3 of 21 The Task - Show Your Pens Some Love Do you have some pens that, quite frankly, have been neglected? The ones that have been sitting on the bench waiting to be called up into the team for far too long? Well today is their day! They're making a come back! Guidelines: * Clean at least 3 or more of your fountain pens (or if you have just one fountain pen, then treat it like an only child and spoil it rotten). * Find some of your pens to clean that you haven’t used in more than 6 months. * Post the progress of your clean up to your IG / FB and tag us along with the hashtag #21daystocreate Link in bio for a mini tutorial on how to clean your pens plus bonus task. 🙂 #21daystocreate #writegear #lockdown #covid-19 #creativity #fountainpen #lettering #cleanup #showsomelove

Day 2 of 21 The Task - Doodle a Geometric Flower - Scroll for some inspo. Guidelines: • First draw your flower using a black ink. Once it’s finished, post a photo of it as is. • Next, colour it in! Either fully colour in each leaf or try some other techniques like filling in the leaves with patterns or splashing ink drops into each leaf. • Now post your second picture. • Don’t forget to tag us and use the hashtag #21daystocreate • I know the task says “a” flower but feel free to keep going and create a whole “bunch” of flowers. It’s Saturday after all and time is finally something we have a rare abundance of. Use it wisely . . . create. • Have fun! #21daystocreate #writegear #lockdown #covid-19 #creativity #fountainpen #brushpen #lettering #doodle #flower #geometric #fountainpenink #writegearsa #lamy #lamysafari #lamysafaricoral

Day 1 of 21 The Task - Create a To Do List Guidelines: * Try to use at least 3 or more fountain pens or writing tools (or what you have) * List 5 tasks that you want to accomplish in these 21 days * Post to your IG / FB and tag us with the hashtag #21daystocreate Now’s a good time to get those things done that you have been putting off. Link in bio for more info on what tools I used. #21daystocreate #writegear #lockdown #covid-19 #creativity #fountainpen #brushpen #lettering #todolist
