Wow! what a haul! We're all heading over to your house to play! :)

I got a couple of those metallic Sliccis too -- they write well.

gorgeous haul. i want to steal your thin line pens! they look so crisp! >.<

Piper 10: :D Sure! I like the Slicci Metallics too...though I think the newer Sakura Metallic Pens are as sparkly and write as well, though the line is a bit thicker. They are less expensive too. I still like the Sliccis though.

The Rilakkuma San-X Twin Pens Scented are cute! I've never seen them before at Kinokuniya in New York. Which store did you find them? Are they ballpoint or gel? Thanks! :D

Thank you :D The Thin Line pens are nice. I love the colours! Here is a quick painting I did using the colours:

If you use a light hand, you can take advantage of the very thin lines it can make.

Hi Melissa: I found them at the Kinokuniya in Seattle. They put them out about 2 weeks ago. They are sold individually for $1.85 each. They are marker style pens, in two types, a writing one and a highligther. The writing one has a bullet tip (writes about a 0.5mm line) and a bolder 1.5mm line on the other end. The highlighter has a highligher end and the bold tip. The scent is faint, but that is okay with me. :) I was surprised how much fun they are to draw with! I'm always impressed with the quality of the San-X pens and pencils I own. They are really good even if they are made for the cute factor. Hopefully they will show up at the Kinokuniya NYC soon, or at Shop Kawaii.

Thanks Gentian! I haven't been to Kinokuniya in a while so maybe they have them. I may have to make a trip to NY! :)

Lovely!

Thanks Nosferatuia! :D

I got some other new things this week!

I love everything in the order :D The tiny Kuretake water brush, Tachikawa nib & holder, Uni Style Fit single body pens and the Copic Atyou Spica are all awesome! I love the 6mm Parallel Pen too. It's the only one I was missing.

I've been testing some Brause nibs, and this Tachikawa is so much better. I'll definitely have to get the other sizes. Also I love the single body Style Fit. I have a 5 body one and it is too wide for me.

The tiny water brush is cute and works well. Next time I'll have to get the other brushes, all of the ones I have currently are starting to fray.

Hi,

There is not enough room in this forum to show what I have purchased over the last two months ! At least 150 pens from here alone.

Wow! You must have an amazing collection. Which are your favourites of the ones you have bought recently?

penman - 28 Nov 2009, 11:00 am

My collection is about 7000 pens and pencils now. Been collecting for over 35 years now.

I've picked up so many recently. I like the multi-pens lately. Been putting together all sorts of combinations of the uni-fit style. My favorite is the Lamy Pico.

I like fine points mostly.

I hate how the kinokunia in Seattle doesnt have sliccies or any of the new multipens... :(

Yeah I noticed though when I was at the one in New York over Christmas they don't carry Sliccies or many multipens other than the Coleto or the ballpoint types either. Not sure if other Kinokuniya's carry them? I like that the Seattle store carries the Copic Multiliner Pens, Neopiko pens and nibs though.

Maybe it is something that can be requested? I never asked. Maybe next time I am there I will inquire. :)
