Whimsy and Stars Studio

I just L-O-V-E surprises!

 

This heavenly-gifty pen galore came from my new friends at JetPens.com, Thank you so, so much Lily, Shu and Adrian! What a surprise!!! Especially when my birthday is next week!

You guys just sparked great creative time this week!! I have been sketching for the last 3-days and I love all my new pens....pens that I have never seen before!!! Like the Pentel Aquash Watercolor Set.

They carry my fav white ink pen, the Uni-ball Signo Broad UM-153 Gel Pen (White Ink) (by far the greatest white opaque pen in the market) You can read my post back on March 26, 2006 .

The awesome thing about JetPens is that they carry very unique pens from Japan, I really love their selection of craft pens, super cute gel pens plus all the extra rare pencils, accessories and more pens!!

For sketching and drawing I have been using the Pilot Drawing Pen which has permanent/pigment ink. I find it very reliable when using water media like watercolors and inks.

 

I hope you stop by and visit these great and artsy people at JetPens, they are truly innovative and they keep their inventory very unique, artsy and with great prices.

Happy Artsy Week everyone!!!
