Instead of polished rare wood this is turned unfinished birch.
Cute as the dickens but not in the least ergonomic but maybe if you had
have really big hands??
A baguette pen from Paris. Mousover to see another view.
Who would ask for bread and be given a snake? I had a fish one too but
maybe he ate it...
The Staedtler permanent felt tip has a intense black ink that is
dependable.
This pen is not petrochemical plastic as it appears but made from corn and
the shell is biodegradable.
It's good to be green. A downy pen with a boing-spring frog that bobs to
and fro as you write. A pleasure to write with.
The Fisher Space Pen (bullet style) can write on any surface in any orientation and it's a
thing of Starkian simplicity and beauty of design in weight and balance. The cap
extends the length and closed, it's compact.
It basically ruined my collection because everything else is so inferior.
A multi-FUN-ction pen that can let you blow bubbles or rubber stamp
documents. Mouseover to see.
This plush pen by Gund is so soft and fuzzy not to mention the smile
factor when someone asks to borrow a pen.
Sterile aluminum doubling as a light source for night-writing
nightlighting.
A velvet-wrapped update of the idea of writing with a quill. Writer-down?
This'll fix it.
This syringe pen has the blood marked out in cc. increments; it wakes
people up.
A Paramount Wonderland pen with the moon sliding to E.T.
King of the frogs with his own 3-toed stand. Gotta admit, I love him for
his body.Can't lose him, but his ink is scratchy and hand-balance, bad.
A lead inserted into a willow twig. Each is unique and has that element of
surprise I love.
(left) This Art Deco-like pen is a beautiful black and chrome design -- it
just doesn't carry the same appeal in other color variations and its ink is such a pretty
cobalt blue.
Next?
I have my eye on one with a collection of polished pebbles
inside; it's another way to admire nature when holding yourself inside to task.And it
rattles and has smooth nice paint and pink wood.
Or could be a pen that's shaped like a bug on a leaf. Again, ergonomically
weak but I love insects....No fountain pens. Unless I find one that's a pun that somehow
embeds a fountain animation in it...
Information is empowering... and sometimes just silly, and that's a
good thing.
