[Pen/Pencil Review] Sharpie Goes Sherpa
It’s been one hot minute, hasn’t it? I have so many pens and pencils to review – and so much guilt for not doing it. Guilt that I’m trying to let go of by getting started once more. I need to just do it. So, okay, we’ll start slow, maybe not every week again at […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Gelocity Stick Pen – 10 count – 0.5mm
Today’s pen is something that caught my eye at Office Max (yes, I know) – the BIC Gelocity 0.5mm stick pens. It’s a fairly typical, disposable rollerball that came in a 10 pack with multiple colors. Since BIC tends toward the bolder point sizes, having a 0.5mm as an option meant I snatched it up. […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] Wooden Pencil Parade
I obviously didn’t get a blog done yesterday. This year…wow, this year. I’m exhausted. I ended up working the Day Job last evening and just didn’t have it in me to make this happen. All of these are from Graphite Pencil + Paper – from two subscription boxes and our first trip out and about […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Black Polymer Skull Pen
It’s a recovery week from a super busy week at the Day Job last week and prep for going to Spectrum Art Live on Thursday. So it seems like a good time for a novelty pen that I picked up…somewhere. I don’t even remember – maybe World Market. Maybe Party City. I think I found […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Platinum OLEeNU Mechanical Pencil – 0.5mm
Today’s blog is a mechanical pencil from Platinum. The last thing I reviewed from Platinum was the Preppy Fountain Pen, so I thought it was time to try something else. This is the Platinum OLEeNU Mechanical Pencil. At first blush, this is a typical mechanical pencil. It has a clear barrel with a frosted rubber […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Rerun – The Leuchtturm 1917 Notebook
I apologize for the rerun – but this is a transition week into a new job and had some Real Life stuff raise its inevitable head. So, I’m going to rerun this review because after a year (mostly because I used it for a lot of writing samples), the notebook is nearly full – I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Jinhao Ebony Jewel Fountain Pen in Red
So, I forgot the pen I intended to do for today’s blog. Discovered another required bottled ink – which is at home… but have no fear. I have a pen to review! I only acquired a few things this year at the Dallas Pen Show because of budgetary restrictions. This is one of them. I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Franklin-Christoph Sugar Cane Paper Notebook A6
I’m going with something a little different today – a notebook I picked up after seeing it mentioned in Pen World Magazine. Paper made from sugar cane pulp instead of wood. There were a couple of different vendors mentioned, but the one I picked up was from Franklin-Christoph. Their notebooks come in three sizes and […]
