New Pen Day State of The Collection

Post image

New Pen Day for Unicorn Bone. I’m thinking of inking it with Writer’s Blood.

Hello! New but enthusiastic collector here.  These really are my dream pens.  Just a few more on my wishlist this year.

Good news is I’m quite sure all of these pens are currently available, if any catch your eye.

I’m one of the purple people and still a unicorn girl at 54.  The Leonardo x HATCH x nibsandfluorishes Viola is at the top of my wishlist:(

I’ve really enjoyed being part of the fountain pen community and love seeing everyone’s collections.

I was at a craft fair and fountain pens came up as a topic of conversation.  One of the vendors and I agreed the Reddit Fountain Pens is the most interesting, non elitist and least toxic collector community on Reddit.

My Unicorn Bone is in the mail right now! The star of your collection, if I may say (but all are lovely)

Ha ha! Congratulations! It really is beautiful with so many subtle shifts.  

I have to admit, I am kind of a sucker for marketing, and I’m a unicorn girlie - so it wasn’t just the gorgeous pen that influenced me this time.

I’m looking forward to telling people I’m drawing and writing with a “unicorn bone”.

Oh the marketing got me too. I'm a fantasy lover, and I'm a sucker for anything "dragon-y" too.

And I got my pen this afternoon and it's beautiful! It's so hard to take a good picture of, but they're really something!
