Petals and Pastels is a love letter to spring and the myriad of colors that appear as if by magic after a long winter.
The original painting for this limited edition Tornado Popper was made exclusively for this release by artist Katy Klassman.
Katy started mixing pigments at a young age for her Grandmother, Dorothy, who was a china (porcelain) painter.
A lifelong fascination and study of color led her full circle to the medium of pastel several years ago as they are the closest material to pure pigment.
Pastels lend themselves to paintings rich in luminous color and create a tactile surface, both of which we have translated to the barrel of the Petals and Pastels pen. We've paired the vivid colors with frosted copper appointments and the finish of the pen is pebbled to reflect the unique texture of a pastel painting.
We hope you'll be inspired by the kaleidoscope of color found in the trellises of flowers on the pen and feel compelled to write your own story of spring.
They are limited to 914 rollerballs.

The Zen Of Fine Writing
Sad news, Friends... Our physical store in Biltmore Village has been completely destroyed. It's been devastating for us and has been emotionally hard to process or even get our minds around. The flood waters basically swirled all the way to the ceilings, smashing everything to bits and leaving everything coated in toxic mud.
During our transition we set up a "Current Offerings" shopping page where we are adding new items daily. If you don't see what you're looking for, just let us know and we'll arrange getting it to you, since it's likely that we have it but it's simply not up on our site yet. Keep checking back and you will find something new each time you do! We should have this temporary shopping page expanded to a complete website in the next month.
If any of you feel inclined, we have set up a Go Fund Me site for donations. Here is the link to that: https://www.gofundme.com/f/join-us-in-restoring-a-beloved-local-haven
