Wisconsin windfall

It turns out that Wisconsin is a floaty pen haven. The Milwaukee Art Museum (shown above) has a fabulous gift shop, which sells floaties. All the pens in the pictures below are from there, except the "House on the Rock."





The House on the Rock is a house created by a man in Wisconsin. It's full of toys and games, but it's underground.

Floaty pens

These are just a few of the pens in my floaty collection. I'm not sure how many I have because whenever I attempt to count them, I lose track.

The top pen in the picture is based on Edvard Munch's "Scream" and I bought it at the Milwaukee Art Museum in 2006. The Michelangelo hands are from the same time and place.

The second one down is based on John Steinbeck's novel "The Red Pony." The green one is representative of Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath." I bought both of them in Salinas, California, at the John Steinbeck Center. I saw the house where he was born too.

The mummy pen I bought at the British Museum in London in 2007.
