My thoughts of calligraphy pens conjure up an old fashioned style of ink pen packed into a box with a selection of nibs. Which just goes to show how little I know about this creative activity.

Uni-ball Insight UB 211 – Rollerball Review
Looking in my pen box for something to review, my mind drifted back to school days when a pencil case was always in my bag. Cases for pencils have been around for over 200 years, some elaborate designs were even made in silver & gold. I seem to recall a favourite of mine being made from a heavy tartan fabric that was splattered with felt pen ink, usually due to the lids being left off when packed away in a hurry as I rushed to reach the next lesson on time.
Stabilo Com4 Ball Pen Review
On a grey wet morning I was disappointed to see yet another report on the news that handwriting is on its way out in the U.S. I recall reading back in 2011 that some states had dropped the need for cursive writing in favour of the keyboard. Here in the UK it appears that a recent study suggested a typical adult hadn’t written anything for 6 weeks.
Pilot Acroball Delux Ballpoint Pen Review
Snow is not something we see a lot of in these parts, thankfully. Call me a killjoy but I’m not a fan of the white stuff, unlike some who can’t wait to get outside building snowmen or jumping on the nearest toboggan. As I sat gazing outside on a cold winters day watching the flakes fall & hoping to find some inspiration for this Pilot Acroball Delux review oh how I wish I was a Pilot & could fly away to sunnier climes.
Staedtler Triplus Roller Review
Sitting on my sick bed after a particularly nasty fall, I longed for something to take my mind of the aches & pains. Armed with a Staedtler Triplus Roller I found the ideal distraction in a code reader puzzle. As I set to work on the puzzle I found that the roller wrote a smooth line, the black dry safe ink was dark & free flowing.
