Blackwing Volume 143 Frida Kahlo Pencils – Set of 12

Blackwing Volume 143 wears its flowers without apology. Each of the twelve barrels carries a floral design drawn from the imagery Frida Kahlo returned to throughout her life, and the model number marks the 143 paintings commonly attributed to her. Soft graphite runs through the core, dark and yielding, the sort that makes a page look considered even when the thought behind it was not.In the hand it is unmistakably Blackwing — the flat ferrule, the clip-in eraser, the incense-cedar barrel that warms quickly against the fingers. Soft graphite asks for a lighter touch than you might expect and gives back more line for less pressure. You write differently with it, though you would struggle to say exactly when the change happened.Why You'll Love It A Softer Line: You press less and get more, and the page never looks laboured — the graphite does the work your hand used to. Kept, Then Used: You mean to save them and don't, because a pencil this pleasant to hold always ends up in the hand rather than the drawer. Nothing Retires Early: You wear one down to the ferrule and simply clip in a fresh eraser, so the pencil stays useful long after the novelty has worn off.
