Here is another massive box of pens from the Green Team at Grace Church School in New York. When I opened the box up I found a pen I had never seen before, a Barbie Doll Pen. After surviving her long journey in a dark box filed with messy crayola marker pens she took so time to enjoy the sun. This time our one legged wooden model took some time off to sit with her and pose sitting on the box. Her journey is complete and will become part of the Legendary Mercedes Pens in some way sometime soon. The pens also came with a crayola stained note, I guess the red one still works.
One Legged Wooden Model with Giant Calligraphy Pen
I got this calligraphy pen donated from BJ Broadstone, one of my facebook friends the other day with a story written on the tag, here is what it said:
A little story: This calligraphy pen helped me earn a small income by addressing wedding invitations and creating poster size calendars. Thanks to the high tech printers, and PCs, my pen has been retired:( But hello mural!!
The story on the wooden model is that when I go to the thrift store to collect pens I always take a peak in the garbage can just in case. This one time I saw the one legged wooden model and I had to have it, so I dove and took it home. If I ever wanted to learn how to draw a one legged person, I have the right wooden model for it.
Thanks BJ.
