I am back! Here is a full body shot of the penholder pictured in this March 25th post.
A few readers asked about it, and Heather Held is correct! It is a Bill Lilly original.
It is one of my favorites. Not only is it beautiful but the neck is a little larger which I prefer.
It has a little chip in it, because I accidentally dropped it.
(Shhh....Don't tell Bill, or I will be in the doghouse.)
Isn't the marbled, background paper gorgeous?
I'll have to tell you more about it in a future post.

The top part of the pen is a cool looking, poly resin and the bottom is rosewood (I think).
It pulls apart.....

.....to reveal a hidden compartment for a spare nib.
Typical Bill Lilly cleverness!!!

Here is my collection of oblique penholders to date.
I know some folks look down their pointed pen noses at the Speedball Oblique Pen Holders (the black, plastic ones), but I learned Copperplate with the Speedball and I have a soft spot in my heart for them. :)

Here are close-ups of my other, favorite Bill Lilly pens.
He calls them Natural Grip pens, and I love, love, LOVE them.
If you're interested in a Bill Lilly penholder. Just contact him via email. You can find his email address at his blog just beneath the photo here. Kim over at The Constant Scribe has a post about her new, luscious Jake Weidmann penholder. Read about it here.
I have received another parcel of ZIG markers from Kuretake! I asked the Kuretake representative if it would be okay to do a ZIG marker giveway, and I was given the go ahead. Please visit A Place To Flourish next Friday for a chance to win some of these terrific markers!
Tom and I are off to Chicago this morning. I am so excited to see the Chicago Calligraphy Collective's Exploration exhibit at the Newberry Library tomorrow!!!
Have a great weekend everyone.
Go forth and flourish!
