Reincarnate Used, Dead Pens

by Jasmin Malik Chua, Jersey City, USA on 10.11.07
Take Action (how to)

ReadyMade asked its readers to submit ideas on how to reanimate the dried-up corpses of juiced-out, presumably unrefillable pens. Although the winners of the magazine's MacGyver Challenge did not prove that the pen is mightier than the sword, they did demonstrate that it could at least hold its own against a butter knife, by fitting pen barrels to old silverware.

Runners-up include bud vases, a plastic jump rope, a pretty nifty recycled garden sprinkler, a tool shelf with pen-barrel pegs, plant stakes, and a trompe l’oeil pencil cup. ::ReadyMade

Now you just need to find something to do with all those useless utensil handles you cut off, maybe some ugly chandelier?

Have you ever thought about how much more difficult these utensils are to clean, once food gets stuck on their little nooks, hooks and crannies??

Not very smart. Nice attempt though ;;)

I use fountain pens. Since they are refillable, they cut down on the amount of plastic waste. I have one such pen that belonged to my grandfather. 60 years old, and the pen still writes perfectly.
