My Desk (part 1)

This is where it all starts. The desk. The point (...a point) of creation in embryo. A computer (yes, even stylophiles still use computers - although generally it should be an Apple :)), a keyboard, a mouse, paper (Rhodia as preference; but Clairefontaine is good, Field Notes - if it's small), perhaps a note book (Moleskine, Quo Vadis, Apica), maybe a ballpoint pen (just in case), definitely ink bottles (lots of those, and lots of colours - with a focus on blue, purple and green) and, of course, fountain pens - quite a few (draws of them actually)!

This is where we begin:


A portion of hallowed desk. Note mess (how can you be creative and not have mess?) scribbles, inky smudging, nib testing, colours, Rhodia grid paper pad and Kaweco at the ready.



Here we have the shelf above and behind the computer. In this little space we find an Omas Extra in Blue celluloid and Stipula Castoni on top of a cute little acrylic pen stand from Ariel Kullock. Underneath the pen stand is a Waterman 52 pen & pencil box and the box for a Montegrappa LE Cigar. These sit to the right of a framed drawing by offspring - no, not the band!- infront of a box for an Omas D-Day LE which itself is sitting on top of a box for an Omas Galileo Galilei - That's a lot squeezed into a little (wait til you see the rest!)

Next blog... more desk!
