Nancy,

I know I responded to your original request, noting the strange and
wondrous array of "floating pens" available at the Cliff House gift shop in
San Francisco. Recently I came upon a fresh batch of pens at the Monterey
Bay Aquarium. Theirs had sea otters and other ocean critters floating
about. You might contact them for their source. What a fun project you seem
to be working on!
Good luck,
Paula
San Francisco
