Looking for... in Perth

Head to a haberdashers or craft shop or milliners (maybe Spotlight? They usually have feathers). Select a plume that pleases. Now, hit an old fashioned stationers and you can still track down nibs. If not, mock one up out of very stiff card. Lash to plume firmly, use lot's of thin whipping string stuff so it won't slip at all. If necessary touch up with a little "metal" paint. If you have to use a spray can ensure plume is encased in a plastic bag. Ink well: I've used a handle-less jam pot on one occasion, also an egg cup (!). They were both glass vessels but the jam one was best because it had a lid with a notch (for the spoon) which supported the quill. Wish I was there, I'd knock them up for you, ah well. Break things (but not your inkwell)...! Rapunzel "Papa, where is Mama? They tell me she has gone away, where is she?"
