[Random] About Art Supplies & Stuff [001]

Hi to everyone ;)

I thought that since I am not posting constantly about new Artworks, I could use some space and post about Art Supplies I use or I'd like to have :D
You're most welcome to give me some advice if you've got any experience with the things I post here ;)

So first of all today I coincidentally stumbled on this:


It's a limited Edition of 888 either Biros or Pens from the Brand Caran d'Ache Geneve for the Year of the Dragon in 2012. 
Total cost: 2500,-€

The description I found about this 'objet d'art' which is surely not for using imo:
The Chinese lacquering is a masterpiece of craftsmanship: the body of the pen is given several coats, first red then black. The result is a truly dramatic contrast as the fire-red dragon seems to explode out of an infinity of intense black. The Geneva company is one of the very few Western manufacturers to master this ancient technique. Chinese lacquer is a natural product, derived from the resin of the "Rhus Vernicifera", that creates delicate reflections and incredibly deep colours. Chinese Lacquer is applied by hand in a succession of layers then polished many times in an exclusive process that combines traditional Chinese methods and modern technology. The mystery surrounding the colour of Chinese lacquer is even greater.
But it would be really nice to have one though, wouldn't it ? :'D
