Sometimes its nice to go back to my tried-and-true basics: gel pens. For many of us, it was the gateway into better pens whether it was in school or later in life. And what better way to liven up a wintery day (or a bleary Thursday) than with some metallics and pastels! So I thought…
This week was filled with reviews and hands-ons with the Wancher True Urushi Kickstarter Pen which reached its Kickstarter goals in about a nanosecond.
