Pen Porn: Fountain Telling Willow

Posted in Fountain Pens

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for pen envy or impulse purchases resulting from viewing this post.

Per usual, you can click on the images to view them larger. I do my best to provide you with high-quality pen porn. 😉

This time, I have a somewhat different pen porn post for you. The focus here is the unique shape of the pen, rather than artwork on it.

This is the Willow model from Fountain Telling, which Kristen debuted at BWIPS this year. According to Jonathon Brooks of Carolina Pen Co — and Kristen’s dad — who had Kristen’s pens on his table at BWIPS, I was lucky enough to be the first purchaser of this model.

Indie Maker Origin Stories

Posted in Fountain Pens, and Uncategorized

For the past 7 shows — with one exception — I’ve shared one or more posts about my BWIPS experience. This year, I decided to do something different. On Sunday, when the show was quiet, I talked to every small, independent pen maker I could, and followed up with the rest via Instagram.

I asked each maker, “Would you mind sharing how you got into pen making?” The stories I was told were, of course, as unique as the makers themselves. And so, I present to you Indie Maker Origin Stories.

To the wonderful makers: if I missed or messed up part of your story, I’m sorry. Drop a comment below or send me a message on Instagram and I’ll fix it ASAP.
