I like exceptional pens:
pen_wooden.jpg (8334 bytes) pen_frog.jpg (8590 bytes) [Parisian Pen] pen_snake.jpg (7822 bytes)
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...

pen_space.jpg (7067 bytes)

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.
pens_bubbles.jpg (10355 bytes) pen_lion.jpg (9693 bytes) pen_lit.jpg (7816 bytes) pen_duster.jpg (10238 bytes)
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.
pen_syringe.jpg (7791 bytes) pen_et.jpg (8414 bytes) pen_king.jpg (12611 bytes) pen_twig.jpg (9340 bytes)
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.
pen_deco.jpg (8513 bytes) (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.
