I don’t know about you but even though we are in the thick of the festive season it doesn’t seem to be all that Christmassy. A neighbour is a keen crafter & suggested I might like to follow in her footsteps & try my hand at making some decorations to help me get in the Christmas mood.
Having given this some thought & armed with a few Metallic Marker Pens I came up with a couple of ideas & thought I’d share them with you.
The vision elite range of pens offer a consistent flow of liquid ink for a smooth writing experience. The unique uni-ball super ink is airplane safe, water resistant & of archival quality.
I have always liked rollerballs, they have been around since the early 60’s having been designed to give the convenience of a ballpoint giving the effect of a fountain pen.

As part of Penvolution an international project originating in Hanover, the PencilMobileRoom has been constructed with the help of donations from Faber-Castell using around 1 million pencils.
Now that we have entered the last month of the year & Christmas is fast approaching I’ve started to think about sending Christmas cards.

Pilot played a large part in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, to celebrate they released Capless Pens. With their retractable nibs Pilot Capless Fountain Pens had one of the most complex mechanisms that had ever been made. Through precision engineering & innovation the early Capless pens had a twist action retractable nib. The Pilot Capless Fountain Pen (AKA Vanishing Point in the US) has evolved & now operates using a push button that retracts the nib into the barrel, this closes an airtight seal which prevents the ink drying out as well as protecting the nib.
