A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Ana ordered 2 sets of Archer and Olive Acrylograph Pens. She reviewed the Warm Fall Color palette here. Today I get to review the Cool Fall Palette. I should start by saying that my speciality is needle arts, so I know next to nothing about…

Pen Review: Meister by Point Pocket Felt Tip Marker
My fountain pen ink stash overfloweth, so I’m always looking for good ways to use that ink in other pens. So I was excited when Ana handed me the Meister by Point Pocket Felt Tip Marker ($12.50, JetPens). This reusable Pocket Felt Tip Marker comes in at a cool 4.8″/12.5cm capped, and 4.2″/10.5cm uncapped. It…
Pen Review: Staedtler Lumocolor Permanent Markers
Review by Tina Koyama I have been looking for waterproof, write-on-anything markers that are less stinky than Sharpies.

Pen Review: Zig Clean Color Dot Double Sided Markers
I was absolutely tickled to find the Kuretake Zig Clean Color Dot Double Sided Markers recently. There are 12 different colors available (available in a set for $35 or individually for $3.30 each). I decided to just try a few colors to start. Usually, I’m inclined to get the whole set, every color, but this…
