I’ve been asked about what pens and markers I like and/or use for handlettering, so I decided it would make a wonderful Ten on Tuesday topic to talk about. Besides, I’m kind of a pen junkie/fanatic. I love to walk up and down the aisle of an office store and look at all the pens […]

A rainbow is a promise of remembrance and I […]
