Sunday Reads - January 12. 2014

• The January Carnival of Pen, Pencil, and Paper is here! Hosted by Heather at A Penchant for Paper - head over to see all the links!
• My Elaborate and Over-kill Notebook Archival Process, on the Pen Addict. This tickles my OCD pickle.
• Cool pictures of China's Harbin Ice Festival. LIGHTS. Serious lights. 
• Gorgeous ink bottle p0rn at These Beautiful Pens!
• Informal Scribble reviews Pilot Iroshizuku Kiri-Same.
• The Clicky Post reviews the EiMIM Z Bead Blasted finish pen, as well as the Kaweco ART Sport in the Alabaster finish (a series I fancy greatly). 
• Graphite portraits of friends, at Colossal. Beautiful work, and most interesting that he favours Moleskine...
• Pens! Paper! Pencils! does a really cute review of J. Herbin's Bleu Pervenche ink - I was totally taken in by the adorable doodle.
• A lovely post from Mary at From The Pen Cup on the pen community, and life in general I guess. I won't lie. I shed a little tear. It's been a difficult week for many of us it seems.
