<\/div>\n

With some of the purchasing decisions I’ve made over the past year (e.g. no more pretty ink sticks), I’ve decided to start from scratch with my wish list. But, before I jump in, allow me to at least mention what I crossed off of last year’s list<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I picked up an 18111 snowflake pen<\/a>, the Gravitas Universe<\/a>, and a Pens by Pasquale “ribbon” pen. Considering the number of pens I bought last year, it’s kind of sad that I didn’t clear more off my list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

With that out of the way, let’s look at my current wish list. In my determination \u2014 or excitement \u2014 for some pens, I’ve already commissioned a few. So, I’m dividing this list into two sections: Commissioned and Want. Per usual, the lists are in alphabetical order by brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissioned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Country Made Pens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I did actively save for a sculpted scrollwork sleeve pen<\/a> last year, and officially commissioned it at the very end of December. I’m hoping I might have it by my birthday.

Mayfair Pens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’ve wanted an Eowyn model<\/a> from Mayfair Pens since the 2022 DC Pen Show. But, in that time, I haven’t seen one in a material I want. So, I commissioned one in a really<\/strong> cool material. You’ll see it once I get it.

Stanford Pen Studio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I mentioned in my post on the Pride and Prejudice pen<\/a> that I’d like one for Little Women. Well, Hanna Farmer accepted my commission, so at some point this year I should get it. YAY!

Want<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These pens will probably have to wait a little bit, as I need to wait until my current set of commissions are done before I commission more pens. Last thing I want is for everything to be done around the same time. My poor bank account screams just thinking about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cypress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’m interested in both the Maple in the Forest<\/a> and the Chasing Dreams<\/a> pens from Cypress. Maple Forest is an art style I’ve been wanting since I first learned about urushi pens, and this one from Cypress is a bit more accessibly priced. Chasing Dreams has everything I’ve been wanting from them in one pen (raden, eggshell, and a bit of color). Of course, with Cypress, it’s always possible they’ll release a pen that has everything I want in an even more appealing design.

Drewnem Pisane<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been eyeing Drewnem Pisane pens for a while. But, I haven’t been actively watching what they release. I need to do that, because their flower and mixed-wood materials are amazingly unique.

Tailored Pen Co<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’ve wanted one of Tailored Pen Co’s Bee\u2019s Knees pens<\/a> for a couple of years now, but I’ve been steadily trying to buy less pretty ink sticks. But, now that they’ve introduced the Trekker model<\/a>, I can say it’s unique enough to not be just<\/em> a pretty ink stick.

Stanford Pen Studio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure this will surprise no one, but I have my eye on two other Stanford Pen Studio commissions: one from Carla Nel and one from Di M\u00f6hr herself. I haven’t quite decided what I would like to request from Carla Nel, but I love her art style. From Di M\u00f6hr, however, I’d love one of the dotted pens, if she’s still doing them, in a rainbow of colors.

\n\n\n\n

Is this everything<\/em> I want? No, not really. That<\/em> list would go on forever. But, these are the pens I’d like to make a concerted effort to acquire this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Are any of these pens on your wish list? Are there any interesting pens or makers that you think I should know about? Let me know in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to subscribe to my blog<\/a> or follow me on Instagram<\/a> so you don’t miss any posts. I generally post at least once a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m starting my wish list from scratch, and it’s significantly shorter. But, I also think the pens on it are top-notch.<\/p>\n
