[Pen/Pencil Review] A Lovely Trip to Graphite Pencil + Paper

Posted by reudaly on July 29, 2020 in Review, writing instruments |

Apologies for the late date – it’s been a weird week. This weekend we took a fully masked and socially distanced trip to McKinny to see our friends at Carpe Diem Comics and to make the trek over to Graphic Pencil + Paper. The Summer subscription box is in the mail – and apparently taking the slow route. So hopefully there will be an unboxing video next week.
Two notebooks and pencils
I picked up two notebooks, two more of the highlighter pencils from Caran D’Ache in yellow and green plus one each in silver and gold from the metallics collection. There’s also a wooden pencil from the Musgrave Pencil Company in Tennessee. These run $1.50 – $3.00

The soft cover is a hand-bound book from Tim “the Captain” Black of Stardrake Books — a good friend and excellent artisan. This one can $10, but he has all ranges of prices and designs. I love his stuff.

The other journal is an old repurposed book. The cool thing about these, is the person who makes them (and I didn’t get his name) leaves part of the original book incorporated in the journal – and doesn’t just use the covers. There were several the that I wanted, but the “Storybook for Girls” jumped out at me. These are more expensive – $32 for this one. But so cool.

I’m not going to do the bronze pencils on this one – because it’s an overview of what’s been picked up. We’ll see how they get used and then maybe we’ll see. The books can only be bought in the store – I don’t see them on line. So if you’re in North Dallas and masked up, go see them!
