[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pentel RSVP Ballpoint
I’ve probably written about these before, but I’m drawing a blank today… so bear with me if this is a “re-review” or a revisit to my favorite ballpoint pen. Yes, I have a favorite ballpoint pen – at least my favorite to date… The Pentel R.S.V.P. fine point. This is an inexpensive “everyday” pen that […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The TWSBI Diamond 540
A couple of weeks back my household had debacle with the post office. Much of our mail went astray (some still lingers in limbo). One piece of mail slipped past the Event Horizon to make it into our possession… the delivery of our TWSBI Diamond 540s EF nibs. Jimmy ordered the clear for himself and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot G2 Family Comparison – G2 vs. G2 Pro vs. G2 Limited
This is a busy week so this is kind of thrown together. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Pilot pens and ink. The G2 is my go to ink. I do wish the 0.38 points came in all the colors and not just blue, black, red, and green. So what’s left to say? […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Sharpie Liquid Pencil
My friend, Meredith, asked me if I’ve reviewed the Sharpie Liquid Pencil yet. I haven’t, and in fact, I hadn’t used the Liquid Pencil in a while and had to go find it in my massive stash of pens and pencils – or, more accurately, I purloined my husband’s from his desk. We both played […]
[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/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” […]
