Absolutely! Adam loves creating and crafting these pens and we aim to please! So if anyone wanted something custom, he could work within their budget.

Yes! I am still working on it. .. years later.  But I am hopeful it will some day get out there. My goal is late fall of this year. We’ll see. For some reason other things keep taking over!

@Lyric - Edward is no longer making the pens. However my husband and I are making our version of the Curv-E. You can see more about them here: Curv-E Pens. We will have another batch released next Thursday in honor of Earth Day and then another batch for Mother’s Day with more pastels.

Love the enthusiasm and you will not be disappointed! Younghae is an excellent teacher and I have taken a class from her before. Wonderful! You will definitely be inspired.

And I will also have to read that book! Thanks for the recommendation!

This is such a wonderful account @TeresaS !  It must have been glorious! We were able to see a few glimpses of it. We only got 95% which disappointingly meant we didn’t get dark. It was similar to a very overcast day. And we had so many clouds that we had to wait for peeks in between. But well worth it. I was oddly excited to see it (and even more so disappointed when I woke up to complete cloud cover). However, luck was with us as it opened up the most right at totality.

Ah, yes, invested is the right word. A good buy, but closer to 6 yrs., 9 months ago--time does indeed fly but not (thankfully) that quickly. Trot those boys out @Erica McPhee , and give 'em a workout. They're dying to be used. Your work is so good now, you can really get the most out of them.

P.S. Would you believe a different box? 

Also, I still look at that gorgeous inkwell EVERY SINGLE DAY. Sometimes I just pick it up and stare at it.

That’s amazing! And now you’re one of the best of our times! Love that! 

@Erica McPhee A whole box! Awesome. You know, 15 years ago I hadn't even considered becoming a calligrapher yet. How time flies! Seems like we've been at this forever. <3
