[Pen/Pencil Review] The Adler Multi-Function Pen From Zumaya Publications
This week’s review was a gift from Liz Burton of Zumaya Publications. It’s a higher end promotional, multi-function pen – that’s pretty spiffy looking. Liz called it a “writer’s” pen… and I can see why. It could be the Adler Crowne Triple Function Stylus Pen. This pen is a stunning blue metal with bright chrome […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pelikan Edelstein Garnet Ink Cartridges
A few weeks ago, I wrote about my awesome Conklin Duragraph Fountain Pen from Pen Chalet – which is still awesome. However, what’s not as praiseworthy was the Pelikan Edelstein Ink Cartridges. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE the Garnet color. It’s a super deep red – kind of like a blood red that works […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Dr Grip Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm
I know I didn’t get a pen blog done yesterday. I was finalizing some fiction submissions for a short story submission deadline and some last bits of novel process. The novel has me very, very excited. In the interim I knew I was going to have to do let something go… well, this ended up […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Kikkerland Wooden Bamboo Ballpoint Pen
Every so often I buy a Kikkerland novelty (or novelty like) piece at World Market, or more often, Half Price Books. Half Price always has cool stuff near the register. This was a two-pack of Bamboo ball point pens – real bamboo. I had to try them. The Kikkerland Bamboo pens actually have wooden barrels […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Conklin Duragraph from Pen Chalet
Last week I had one of those experiences that all pen blog writers dream of, a pen shop emailed me to ask me if they sent me a pen, would I review it honestly and provide a few links. Um, gee, let me think about that for a second…yes. Therefore, I’d like to formally thank […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Paper Mate InkJoy Stylus Triangular Ballpoint in Purple
Today’s blog post… I revisit Paper Mate’s InkJoy. This is the Stylus stick triangular pen in purple ink. I picked this one up at Office Max. I keep coming back every so often to InkJoy because I really WANT to feel the Joy. I really do. I know people who love these pens. Alas…I am […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Office Depot Fashion Rollerball Pens – Multi-Pack
It’s time to get back to normal. We had illness in the house on top of everything else. But we’re better now. So, now it’s pen blog time. This week, I’m reviewing a multi-pack of fashion pens from Office Depot. These fun roller ball pens come in a variety of patterns – from polka dots […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Yasutomo Y&C Gel Xtreme 0.5mm
This week’s pen is one of my last pens from the last JetPens order. This is a new brand for me – the Yasutomo Y&C Gel Xtreme 0.5mm stick pen in black ink. The Y&C has a water-based gel ink that’s non-toxic and acid free. This black ink is dark and rich – and suitable […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Cross ATX Pure Chrome Rolling Ball
This week’s pen was part of my Birthday Pilgrimage to Paradise Pen Company during ConDFW. I bring you the Cross ATX Pure Chrome rollerball pen. This is a gorgeous pen, and though it was technically a birthday present, I did pick it out, and it was on sale. This is definitely a more expensive, gift […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Acroball Pure White 0.7mm Black Ink
We return to Pilot this week with another fun staple pen – which I could’ve sworn I’d gotten around to writing about, but extensive searching through archives say no… so here we go. Pilot has a line of pens called Acroball. They have a few lines – this is the Pure White (which technically isn’t). […]
