This is the first of a four pen order. The Princess Pen has been one of my best selling pens for women and it's obvious why. I think the 4 Color Opal blank works well with this pen kit.

My daughter would love this. Alas for her, I won't show it to her!

She has this illusion that I make nice pens! :tongue:

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

I seem to be buying most of my pen kits and blanks from Exotic Blanks.
Here's a link to the Four Color Opal blank: https://www.exoticblanks.com/Peal-Swirls--11-Four-Color-Opal.html

Mark - The Princess pen is a remarkably nice pen kit for the price. It's a bit big IHMO for a ladies pen, but the bling factor apparently outweighs that shortcoming. This is the sixth or seventh one that I've made and this is the first one that I'm really happy with the profile. They've always been too fat and I seem to be convinced that both barrels need to have some curve. The next one I may get brave and make it with no curve whatsoever. p.s. She's right...so she deserves a Princess pen!

Glorious Princess Pen, Steve.
The Princess is also my most "Go To" Pen for the Ladies.
You will not be disappointed when you turn the Blank down, as you mentioned.
My Princesses are all "Trim and Slim", and they look Terrific, I use "Pink Ivory", and the Clear Crystal Hardware.

This is how it looks.
Hope this is of assistance.
Regards,
Brian.

Hi Art - Thanks, I didn't paint the tube.

Brian - Thanks. I'm really glad to see the Princess with no curves. The next one in my cue is going to be a bit slimmer than my last but I'm going to keep a bit of curve in mine. Thanks!!
