Current Fave Pens

pen lovers, this one's for YOU!

I love pens, and I suspect you do too. These are the pens I don’t leave home without. These are the ones I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

TOMBOW BRUSH PEN (dual-sided)

This is the pen that changed my life. Whenever I want to write big, I use this pen. I love it so much! The only drawback is that it can smear and bleed if the paper gets wet. I barely use the thin part. I wish they last longer than they do!

Here’s a sample:

PILOT Precise V10 RT

I totally forgot about this pen until I was cleaning up my desk. It’s back in the rotation now because I love how inky and smooth it is! I use it in my Hobonichi Techo planner. It’s a Pilot, not a Pentel. Don’t my writing fool you.

Tombow Calligraphy Pen- Hard Tip

This one is my boo. It’s the one I love to use when I am making lists. I have tried the soft tip and it’s not for me! I love how this one handles the pressure I put on it. It also has a pretty fine tip and can be fun if you get the angling right.

Here’s a sample:

EDDING 1880 DRAWLINER .1mm

I am not one for an extra fine tip but this one has changed my mind on that. Mostly because I can do fun fine detail work and it doesn’t smear. I found this one on an art date and it made the whole excursion worth it.

Here’s a sample:

Posca White Paint Marker 0.7mm

I feel like I am the only person who does not like gel pens. No matter how hard I try, I can never find a white gel pen that gives me the density I want. My life has not been the same since I met this fine-tip paint marker! I love using it for detail work. IT IS SO GOOD.

Here’s a sample:

Liquid Chrome - 1mm

You can’t quite capture the awe and wonder this pen provides in a photograph. It is absolutely delightful. A real magic trick of a pen. I have all of the sizes because I am greedy for chrome.

Here’s a sample:

What pens are lighting you up these days? I wanna know!
