These used pens just came in from Lake Geneva Michigan sent by Tia M. and triple bagged for safety. The pens came wrapped inside a Target bag within a USPS priority envelope within a brown paper envelope. Tia understands that these used pens are important to my one million pen project and wanted to make sure none were damaged during the shipping process.
Big shout out to Tia.
By the way, the blue bowl on the left side of the picture contains cookie dough.

| Pen Covered Mail Box 2.0 in the making |

| Pen Covered Mail Box 2.0 ready to receive mail |
Last Sunday during the making of the Pen Guy documentary we shot the creation of the pen covered mail box version 2.0. Paul filmed me in my workshop opening up my mail, taken the pens out and covering this mail box with donated pens. I was also filmed picking up this box of pens at the Forestville post office.
The used pens were donated by Hanna F. and sent in from Washington DC who also said in a note:
“Enjoy the pens! I hope they live on in an awesome art project”. – Hannah
Thank you Hanna, your pens will live on my new pen covered mail box for a long time. And it will make my mail man and my neighbors smile come rain or shine.

This used Black Bic Grip Roller Pen
I don’t know about you but this pen could be worth something one day so maybe I should start collecting pens from business that no longer exist. Its sad but thank you Nathan for sending this pen in and may the Home Valley Bank get a second life riding on the Mercedes pens Art Car for years to come.
