Glass Pens |
In addition to glass beads, we also make glass pens. These are all glass and they really work. They are dipped in ink, and the ridges on the nib hold a surprising amount of ink. The pens will write at least a full sentence, usually a couple of sentences, before they need re-dipping.
We have been selling our beads at holiday bazaars for a couple of years now, but this was the first year that we offered glass pens. They were a big hit: people liked the novelty, and the pens are not that expensive (we charge fifteen dollars each). We will definitely be making more of these!
Following are images of some of the glass pens we have made:
