Over the holidays I had added a couple of budget-y priced, portable corner rounders to my Amazon cart. When they arrived I was sorely disappointed. They left nicks in the paper and didn’t have anything to catch the little paper flecks so I was leaving a trail all over my office, the coffee shop and…

Pencil Review: Mitsubishi No. 850 Colored Pencils (Set of 24)
Several months ago, I purchased a set of Mitsubishi No. 850 Colored Pencils from Fresh Stock Japan. It was the 24 color set which is reasonably priced at $22 for the pack. The set includes gold and silver metallic as well as an opaque white plus an array of standard colors. The barrels are smooth…

Pen Review: Pilot Metropolitan Retro Pop

I had…
