That notebook looking thing is from Renaissance Art. It is called a folder holder.

I had them customize it with a big medieval strap.

Listen guys. I am not affiliated with RA, but their leather is better than any I have ever used. Go check them out.

Great people!

If you use a pen in either hand and it's called being ambidextrous then what is it called when you use your feet??? LOL!!!

That would be called a toe in!

But writing with a fine FP with your FEET would be gross IMO!

Please provide a writing sample for the "rest" of us!

Uhhh Huhh!
