[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra R-301 Rollerball Pen
The Zebra R-301 Arrow Tip rollerball pen was on sale at Office Depot this weekend, so I picked one up to try – needing something to review this week. I tagged along with my husband who needed adhesive dots for the FenCon Art Show packets (like I wouldn’t go to an office supply place – […]
[Pen Review] The Seven Year Pen by Sustainable Seltzer Products
About a year ago I ordered a pen from Sustainable Seltzer Products, The Seven Year Pen in the “Need Coffee” motif. Why would I do this when I’ve said often that ball point pens are my least favorite ink pen? 1) I was curious about a pen that boasts it can last for 7 years, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Look at Ink
I’ve drawn a complete blank today where it’s come to this week’s pen-related review. I had a couple of notions that dried up, asked on Facebook. My uncle suggested a blog on refills. I wish I could do one as good as the one in the current issue of PENWORLD. There’s a big rollerball refill […]
[Pen Wish] Monteverde Invincia Stylus
An open letter to Monteverde Pens… Thanks to PenWorld Magazine, one of your pens is now on the top of my Wish List. I saw it in an ad in the most current issue of PenWorld – and went looking for it online. Only to discover it’s not yet available. Okay, so I was wrong. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot HI-TEC-C Cavalier
My husband reminded me that I’ve never reviewed the Pilot HI-TEC-C Cavalier he gave me for some gift-giving holiday. He knows I like fine point rollerball pens – and the finer the point the better. The HI-TEC-C Cavalier is Pilot’s higher end, refillable “executive” HI-TEC-C pens. The HI-TEC-C Cavalier is 5.25″ capped and 5.75″ with […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Skull and Roses Novelty Stationary Set from Michaels
For those who know my fiction-writing don’t need any explanation for why this novelty set caught my eye at Michaels. I write Death in The Four Redheads of the Apocalypse series from Yard Dog Press. So cheap skull and roses stationary pieces for 99¢ a piece made me giggle. I’ll be sporting my new “gear” […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The TomBow Zoom 505sh 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil
The Tom Bow Zoom 505sh is the matching pencil to my previously reviewed 505bw rollerball. I had a review written about this pencil back when I first received it, but it went…somewhere. And now I’m kind of glad about that, it’s given me a chance to revisit the review. The first thing I did with […]
[Pen Review] TWSBI 530 Diamond
For my birthday this year, my husband bought both of us a TWSBI 530 Diamond fountain pens – mine with an Extra Fine nib in green; his with a Fine nib in red. These pens are no longer in stock – apparently they’re sold out with no additional production run intended as TWSBI designs something […]
[Pen Review] The Padrino Demonstrator from Paradise Pen Company
On the way to ConDFW this year, my husband and I stopped by Paradise Pen Company in the Dallas Galleria to buy ink for our TWSBI Diamond 530s – which he bought “us” for my birthday. We chatted with the guys there – and drooled over the Pens Which I Can’t Afford – when the […]
