Occasionally, I like to post things that I just plain want – and probably won’t ever buy.  Ergo, the semi-regular To Covet: a category that shows one thing that I’ve been coveting, but really can’t afford…or have no space for…or just plain shouldn’t buy for one reason or another.

Isn’t it stunning?  Hard to believe it was made out of a BIC™ ballpoint pen.

The artist heats the plastic until it’s flexible enough to blow-mold into a neat little vase that stands on its own.  After shipping, it’s only $29 for US and Canadian residents ($32 elsewhere).  You can pick one up at DesignBoom.com.  (Once I move, I’m definitely getting one.)
