I need to buy some new black journaling pens so I can have them stashed around my house. I figure if I have a box of cards and a pen in a few different places like my car, my purse and an end table, I can keep up with my project life journaling wherever I am. So, what is your favorite journaling pen? I've always used Zig .5 but would love some suggestions for a new favorite. Let me know what you use and why you love it!

Thanks!

Robynn,

I also use the Zig pens. Like you I usually use the .5 tip, but I like the larger 1.2 tip for certain things as well.

I am also hearing great things about the American Crafts - Precision Pen - All Black - 5 Pack, but I haven't tried them myself yet.

I handwrite most of my journaling so having a black marker is vital. I love your idea of having them stashed everywhere. Right now I have one in my purse with my journal cards and one on my scrapbook desk.

I do have a .2 tip black pen from my late grandfathers art collection, but I don't know what brand it is (worn off). I can't believe it still has ink. I will be sad when it runs dry, but I really like it for super fine work like stitching.

Thanks Tammy! Good to know that someone else is thinking like me!

Part of the reason I was looking for another option was because as I get older (and write less - type more) I find my fingers much more sensitive. So, the pen starts to hurt my fingers after I've written a few cards. Does anyone have a nice pen with a gel grip on it that is acid free/good from scrapping? Else, I'll stick with my trusty Zig's!!Smile
