I always write/scribble with a pencil when possible rather than an ink-based device. Maybe it's a math-head thing – we have a fondness for pencils and chalk – I remember weeping silently when they removed the chalkboards from my classroom many years ago. 😢
I often wonder if my choice of pencil is the norm. Being a HB it's about as imaginative as a colour-coordinated shoelace. What's your weapon of choice?
@jjcelery @markdennehy @PadraigMcl @runcertain guys guys oh my god
It's a Pen Collection Count Off!!
@alisca @jjcelery @PadraigMcl @runcertain Um. Not sure we have enough time for that :D
Also, there's a lot of pencils in that box - polychromos, pitt pastel, druer watercolours, inktense and charcoal sets...
(I'm not talented, I'm indecisive)
@alisca @jjcelery @PadraigMcl @runcertain @Tupp_ed besides, if I need to, I can always make one :P

@runcertain @markdennehy @alisca @PadraigMcl @Tupp_ed I also have quite the collection of pencils 😬 I fell in love with Blackwings a little while back and even have some limited editions.
There's no saving me lads 😩
@runcertain @jjcelery @alisca @PadraigMcl @Tupp_ed That's a whole other subset of leatherworkers and you'd be surprised at how the whole leatherworking crowd just thinks of them as totally normal. "Sure, it's like tack, but for people" basically :D
I don't do that kind of leatherwork though, not good enough to do clothing-type-things. I mostly do bags, purses, wallets, that sort of thing.
@markdennehy @runcertain @alisca @PadraigMcl @Tupp_ed I don't know what you call this kind of hybrid but it is beautiful 🤩 I have plans to make a handbag for myself, but the way my schedule is it probably won't be until next year 😩
BTW I have similar lists (plural!) for sewing supplies and patterns so yeah, endless hobbies, endless hoarding... need not a bag, but a house of holding.
