CYPRESS × @micahfinds Victorian Flora: The Humble Fern Fountain Pen

CYPRESS Victorian Flora by micahfinds
A series of ebonite and raden pens conceptualized by micahfinds and masterfully handcrafted by CYPRESS Pens of Taiwan, to serve as your writing talismans.

During the 1860s, there was a bit of a “Fern Frenzy” in Britain. This simple plant was collected, studied, cultivated, and included in various works — from architecture, to fabric, and even jewelry by the romantic Victorian people. It became a symbol of “trustworthiness and humility” as well as “pleasurable pursuits” during this time.

Today, I am reminded of the introspective practice of keeping a journal when I look at the Fern. Where pages and pages are entrusted with our deepest thoughts and feelings. A humble and solitary pursuit of the pleasures of record-keeping. Writing, sketching, dreaming, and unwinding after long days. Honest musings like spores dispersed in the wind — scattered and then slowly unfurling into new growth.

May this pen become a talisman for your writing — that each word scribbled down is a renewal of your contract with yourself and your tools of self-discovery. Trust in what you find. Lean into the comforts of the page. Unfurl. 

Love,
micahfinds
