NEW!! Glenn's Pick
TriLite Folding Stool
Glenn learned
about this specific stool from a participant on a tour a couple of years ago
and absolutely loved it! (And believe me, he has been searching for the
"ideal" travel stool for many years!)
So what is this
stool? It is called the TriLite Folding Stool. It is the "ultimate" in
lightweight compact comfort. It is made out of aircraft aluminum - so it
weighs only 21 oz, yet supports a full 200 lbs. (the XL size is 30 oz., and supports a full 275 lb.). It features a full width canvas seat
and folds to fit in the palm of your hand. It comes with it's own
drawstring storage bag for ease of carrying. It's set up dimensions are
8"x16 3/4"x 17" high. (the XL is 9 1/2"x 19" x 22 1/2" high - and this XL
one folds to 3"x4"x17 1/2", a bit bigger than the regular sized one)
TriLite Folding Stool Price $22.00
TriLite Folding Stool XL Price $30.00

Falcon

Glenn's Pick Namiki Falcon Fountain
Pen
Soar to new
heights
with the Namiki Falcon. Sleek in its unique style, this jet black fountain
pen is a remarkable feat of engineering and elegance. The Namiki Falcon’s
most extraordinary feature is its flexible, "hooded" 14K gold nib that gently
yields to the user’s angle.
Modest pressure on the tines makes a bolder line than when a light touch is used
and a thick/thin effect comes from the tip itself.
We know of no contemporary pen with a more flexible nib.
The size of this pen would be considered
standard, at 5 3/8" long, capped. The diameter of the grip is comfortable
for almost all hands.
All of the Namiki pens come with a converter
(for bottle filling) and a blue ink cartridge in a small leather box. This is the
only cartridge/converter system, other than Sailor, that offers adequate ink
flow for broader or faster writing - which happens to be perfect for drawing! See the
fountain pen guide for more information on use and care of fountain pens.
Weight: Light
Nib: SF
(Soft
Fine) Manufacturer's Warranty: 3 Yrs (other nib sizes available for preorder upon request)

Glenn's Pick Namiki Vanishing Point Fountain Pen
The Vanishing Point retractable fountain pen is a product rich in both history and performance. Its brilliant design and ingenious technology make it a pen for the new age. Works just like the ball-point pen's you are familiar with, just click the end and the nib retracts into the body of the pen - only this one has a fountain pen for a nib! And just as with the Namiki Falcon, this pen comes with
it's own converter and box and a full 3 year manufacturer's warranty!
Available in black with gold accents and an 18 karat gold fine nib. (Other colors or nib sizes available for preorder upon request)
Works with the same Namiki cartridges as the Falcon.
Note: This nib is not
a flexible nib like the Falcon!

Vilppu Fountain Pen - Disposable/Trial
Pen
This is a custom Varsity Fountain Pen from Pilot with our logo screen printed on
the side of it. Although this pen is not refillable like our other pens,
and does not have the flexible nib like the falcon, it is still a wonderful pen
to work with and is an inexpensive way to test the world of fountain pens to see
how you like them! Black ink.

others will fit, they are proprietary cartridges. Once in awhile, people
get in a pinch and try to SHOVE a different cartridge into one of these
pens. It might work, but be forewarned, you're just asking for a leaky
cartridge, or even possible damage to your pen.

Pen & Ink Sketching Fountain Pens
This Fountain Pen was designed for sketching!
They ARE flexible, but the nib is not solid gold like the Falcon, so they are a
whole lot less costly! The iridium nib provides a smooth, enduring stroke.
Stainless nibs in most fountain pens can feel scratchy, and since most are
designed for writing, they don't usually allow the ink to flow enough for line
work. Comes in three sizes (Extra-Fine, Fine and Broad). Glenn's
preference is the Extra Fine, but at this price you may want all three!
Includes a suede pen
wrap, an ink converter and 3 cartridges of indelible ink.
List Price: $22.49 each
Get all 3 sizes and save 10%! $60.72
Extra-Fine Pen (Glenn's preferred size) Price: $22.49

Winsor & Newton Cotman
Watercolor Sketcher's Pocket Box
Cotman Watercolors have been specially developed for
the watercolourist who requires quality transparent watercolors at an economical
price. Cotman watercolors possess good transparency with excellent tinting
strength and working properties. Winsor & Newton keeps the price affordable by
replacing some of the more costly pigments with less expensive alternatives.
This popular pocket sized plastic box features an integral mixing palette in the
lid and contains 12 assorted Cotman Watercolor half pans and a popular Sceptre
gold collapsible pocket brush.
Comes with Velcro strips so you can keep it
in your Rollabind sketchbook.
There are some differences between this set and the
Winsor & Newton Artist's set, which is made of pigments that professional artists prefer to
work with. We strongly recommend that you learn with the higher quality Windsor & Newton
if your budget allows, however you can always start with this set and by the
time you need to replace the half pans, you'll know if upgrading to the Artist's half pans is right for you.
