The Diamine Flower Ink collection.

By Leigh Reyes on Wednesday, October 16, 2013

The music set had a blue box, the flower set has green. A flower stamp takes the place of the G clef. All green on the outside, but not a single green in the bunch! If you have green ink, you can add stems to your flower doodles. An ink’s appearance can change dramatically depending …

The Romillo pen adventure!

By Leigh Reyes on Monday, October 14, 2013

Japanese pens have spoiled me for artistry and reliability. I do look at other pens with lower expectations, as a result. Stipula skipping? That’s okay, it’s not Japanese, but the material sure is pretty. Pelikan not writing at all? That’s okay, it’s not Japanese, it’s a rare Pelikan nowadays that writes well out of the …

Nakaya Tortoiseshell Chinkin Karakusa

By Leigh Reyes on Sunday, October 13, 2013

Nakaya will no longer have celluloid pens, leaving that material to its mother brand, Platinum. So it was an easy decision to procure one of their farewell releases. The tortoiseshell celluloid is a harmony of warm brown, ochre and yellow, making it a most appropriate host for the golden chinkin. The chinkin technique involves engraving …

The Japanese notebook megapost.

By Leigh Reyes on Tuesday, October 8, 2013

Because they sure come up with the happiest ones. This A5 “Edge Title” notebook by Kokuyo leaves space for indexing and annotating your notes. Maruman’s Septcouleur has extremely smooth ruled paper and is now available in National Bookstore. The stiff plastic cover means you can just dump it into a tote without worrying about creased …

9 fashion essentials every woman needs to own

By Leigh Reyes on Thursday, October 3, 2013

1. Flats that stay on. Because no matter what Wonder Woman says, you can’t reach your maximum speed in heels. 2. Gray hoodie. For blending into street corners. 3. Gray shirt. See no. 2. 4.

The root word of pensive is pens.

By Leigh Reyes on Friday, September 27, 2013

One day there will be no deadlines except sunset and sunrise. There will be stretches of weeks when we throw nothing away, and find that unremarkable. We will be sufficient unto ourselves. We will find a way to have our technology and our humanity, too. We will know our purpose so well we won’t need …

Odds, ends, and odd ends.

By Leigh Reyes on Monday, September 23, 2013

Odd: EDCing (everydaycarry-ing) involves tools and ways of carrying them so they’re in easy, immediate reach when needed. You turn up lots of instructive images on Instagram using #everydaycarry. My EDC is less about urban survival and more about art supplies, although I could attempt to poke my way out of a tight spot with …

Is that a pen in your pocket or…

By Leigh Reyes on Tuesday, September 3, 2013

…are you able to see me? …is that phone taking up too much space? …is there a growing distance between us? …is that a pocket in your pens? …is that a pen in your 1000 denier pink striped Cordura with super reinforced stitching pocket? …are you just shy? …why yes, it is. …is your shirt …
