I adore your monogram! Hmmm... What a great way to use my old and bring out the new. (I have about four boxes of colored pencils waiting for the day I let myself introduce them to Mr. Sharpener.)
How fun is that r!? My mother has a thing for pens - always has. We always had extra pens in our house growing up because she always brought them home.
I have a feeling that the reason I often stall out of inspiration for writing at the computer is the inherent association of creativity with the marvelous tactile pleasure of writing with a pencil or pen. I'm also very particular about my implements... When the BackToSchool stuff comes out every year, I start to drool wondering what new supply goodies await!
Maybe this is an addiction that I need to pick up. I can never find a pencil at my house when I need it. Or a pen that writes WELL. drives me crazy. Or scissors in whatever room I'm in when I need them. Maybe I'll develop a scissors addiction. They come in so many yummy colors these days.
i asked my husband to buy me a couple of mechanical pencils today and her came home with these boring grey, clear things!? ugh! blah! doesn't call to me at all! i didn't say anything but there is more to the pencil then using it to write! love your shadow box! that is cool!
i know what you mean! i've cut back in the past few years but in high school and college, boy oh boy, did i have a lot of pens!
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't realize how bad my addiction was, until I saw the first photo, and my eyes got very big and well...I want all those pretty markers!

ReplyDeleteHa! Does this mean we can all come out of the closet? I started collecting tilt pens years ago and I have over 200. I love the "r" art.

ReplyDeleteSharpies are my favorite writing utensil. Doesn't matter if they are super fat or ultra fine, I love them all. The post came up in my reader today and it is very timely. She makes some great art out of these materials: http://indiefixx.com/2009/10/21/wednesday-indie-artist-fixx-with-jennifer-maestre/
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! =]
Cute addiction. ;) My husband recently bought a rainbow set of ultra fine Sharpies, and I secretly covet them.
ReplyDeleteFinally-someone else who feels the same way about pens and markers and pencils! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love love drawing tools - any shape size or color! I like that 'r' made out of pencils a LOT.

ReplyDeleteIt makes me glad I'm not the only one who "collects" pens, pencils, markers, highlighters, dryerase markers, etc., etc.
