This is not said to in any way denigrate sun_sparkz's hobby, but I think that "tapestry" is Aussie for "needlepoint."
I must confess that I am a pen-a-holic.
I can't stop buying the damn things, all as part of the quest for the perfect pen.
I just got some Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain pens. OOOOOH the sweetness of them!
(three pack, one black, one blue, one purple) This, of course, occurred mere days after I resolved not to buy any more damn pens ...
The Parker Jotter is another favorite.
And the Parker Vector Fountain pen ... ahhh ... flows so sweetly. I am generally a big fan of fountain/cartridge pens and will sometimes use a dip pen for caligraphy. I've wanted to try out one of those glass pens for special occasions, but they are just too darn fragile. I know I'd set the thing down on the desk and have it crash to the floor.
I fight over new drug rep pens in the office. Particularly the big, fancy, heavy ones that are intended to be given only to physicians. I prefer a smoothly flowing, traditional ball point to a gel point, although a finepoint marker style is high on my list. The Pilot Precise Ball Pen (poor man's rapidograph) is pretty cool as well, although sometimes I write with too heavy a stroke and bend the nib on those.
Another thing that goes on with me and pens, is that once I start using one, I really MUCH prefer to use it to the bitter end, the last scratchy drops of ink. Losing a pen that still has life remaining is worse for me than losing a disposable lighter before it's ready to be thrown away.
I really better stop talking about this. I'm getting too excited.
