5 out of 5 starsAnother awesome pen! She worked with me to get the one I wanted. I wanted another pen holder for other nibs I use. I just love how it's balanced in my hand and it just helps me create so much better. She is by far the best person to get your pen holders from because she knows what we need being a calligrapher herself. You will be very happy no matter what you choose to buy from her. The shipping is so fast and before you know it you will have your work of art from her.

5 out of 5 starsI’m still so happy Erika was willing to make this custom for me when I asked about darker greens. It’s gorgeous! Even just looking at it makes me smile.

5 out of 5 starsVery beautiful and extremely lightweight. “I wondered why my fingers were sore and then looked up and realized I’d been writing for two hours straight” level of friendly to daily use. I love it :)

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love this pen. It is so beautifully designed and made. It's just so balanced and comfortable to work with. It's amazing what a great pen can do to improve your confidence and improve your writing. Erika is a calligrapher so obviously she knows what works to help you create your own calligraphy. Absolutely order her creations. You wont be disappointed. I will buy more in the future. My camera doesn't do it justice.

About ErikanXpressions
A Penchant for Making Pens
I have been doing calligraphy for over 36 years. After countless hours of practice and miles and miles of ink, I know how important tools are to the artist. A comfortable well-balanced pen with just the right grip and flange angle can help you get in 'the zone' where you lose all track of time and keep writing. It can also make a big difference in the quality of your letters and how your hand feels when you finish. Calligraphy should be a joy.
I hand craft each pen in my little wood shop in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. I'm extremely slow and meticulous which means I don't make a large number of them but the ones I make are well crafted and done with care. The high mountain desert conditions here make it ideal for drying and hardening lacquer without the problems of humidity. It's a beautiful setting to make what I consider works of art in wood.

Custom and personalized orders
I am not currently taking any custom orders. Feel free to make suggestions of what you would like to see in my shop but if you have design or time restrictions, I'm not able to take them right now.
Care instructions
Never leave a wood pen to soak in water. Wipe it off with a damp cloth and dry it well. Also avoid using cleaning products with ammonia which can damage the finish of the pen. When you dip the pen in ink, only allow the nib to submerse in the ink and not the entire flange. If ink dries inside the flange, it can be hard to remove the nib. Keep your custom pen out of direct sunlight and treat it with care.
