Where have the quills from Wills Quills gone ...

I am happy to forward this letter on from Derek Amos. Derek has served me very well with excellent service over many many years through Wills Quills.  So I thought I would pass on this new information. Read on ...

Dear Calligrapher,

Calligraphy shop supplies & mail order in Australia.

Will’s Quills established in 1989, has since the end of June 2012 closed. The Australian supplier of Calligraphy equipment has literally run out of a boss, as William Lai has retired from actively running a shop.

While Calligraphy commissions and work on wedding stationery do carry on, along with items such as Chinese seal carving, etc. Now the sale of calligraphy related goods via the shop is finished. Any items sold have been passed on to a new venture, supported by one of the former staff at the store, “Derek”.

He has opened a website at: http://www.ornasonova.com which supports many calligraphy items, which can be bought by mail order through his website. Mostly these are items were found on the Will’s Quills website.

Calligraphy Books,
some Bookbinding/Paper arts Books,
some Chinese painting Books.
Assorted Brause dip nibs
Manga G dip nibs
Hiro / Leonardt dip nibs
Osmiroid dip and fountain pen equipment
Speedball dip nibs
Hunt dip nibs
William Mitchell ranges of dip nibs
Gillott (Copperplate and Drawing/Mapping) dip nibs
Dip Nib Handles
Some Inks
Some Real Goose Feather Writing Quills
Special Pens and other goods
Gilders tools/equipment, Burnishers etc
Paper and Card Embossers

(Please note: A one or two of the above webpages are not yet functioning, they are being installed just as fast as their programming is done. Check them again in a few days to find them updated. Thank you).
If you need local supplies by mail order, just as quickly as they can be paid for & posted. Then give us an order, look up our website and see just how easy it is to get Calligraphy and other goods. We look forward to your visit and any emailed feedback/enquiries. Pricing has remained relatively the same as at the shop, unless items, or shipping fees have increased in cost.

Please advise your friends or students about this update, and we can all get our calligraphy work/practise/play done.

Thank you for your time, we hope to hear from you soon,

Derek Amos

The journey begins ...

Image
To say I am fortunate is an understatement. Time and time again I find myself in the most wonderful of situations that allow me to experience extraordinary things.  What I love most is I am always ... always learning something new. Today for example I saw my first driver less car.  Never!!!! I could barely believe it.  Some one reading this in fifty to one hundred years time may chuckle and say "cars had drivers?" .  I am in Pittsburgh after all. I guess you could say today is day two of this particular journey. Day one was spent on a series of aircraft to get me from Tasmania to Pittsburgh USA. The route I like to take when traveling to the US is Sydney - Dallas avoiding that horrible commuter nightmare, LA.  All the flights went well, reasonably on time and smooth transitions. I am getting to know Dallas/Fort Worth very well and would highly recommend it.  For me it is a suitable hub for flying in from Australia and connects me to pretty well anywher...

Making time my friend ... and poly myalgia rheumatica

Image
  The past fifteen months has taken its toll on me as there has been a lot of pressure and stress. Self-inflicted of course, as that is the way of things with me. Subsequently I have been diagnosed with (nothing sinister) poly myalgia rheumatica which has seen me at a low painful ebb. Coupled with very high blood pressure which is not a good mix, we are now just getting that under control. As my lovely doctor says "Gemma, you do not want to have a stroke" .  To address the PMR issue I have just started a steroidal pain management treatment and the prognosis is very good. I have known for some six months or so that something was not sitting quite right with my health so it was only about a month ago that the body responded with a " stop now ". It’s just a bit of a pain really but I do wish to live a long a fruitful life. Who doesn't, right!? Some of you know I have taken steps to slow the rhythm of my everyday life to manageable and more enjoyable levels. While t...
