Splitcoaststampers - Beaded Pen

I decided to put some multi colored microbeads inside one of the mini pens I found at Target. I couldn't get a grip on the rounded endcap, so I unscrewed the pen end & took out the ink stick (what are the insides of a pen called?)I poured the beads in thinking, "I'll just give it a little shake as I put the ink stick back in & they'll move around it." They did. (Sorta) Some of them still jammed up into the ink stick. By the time I got it back together, my hands were covered in thick, sticky gel ink! The beads had pushed the ink out of the ballpoint end. Next time, I'll take the time to find an awl(or a thin, pointy stick) & push that endcap off instead. My mini pen is super-cute now! I wish I had put just a few more microbeads in, but I'm not going to try to change it now!
