Ghost Koi Custom FP

[Brooks803]

Recently my wife put in a small Koi pond outside our bay window at the house. One of the koi she put in there is called a ghost koi. It's got these really awesome electric blues/purples colors on it. So I got inspired to cast a blank in a similar fashion.

This pen is very long and is without a clip. It also has a satin finish on it. I never can remember to take measurements prior to posting so once again I'll measure and give that info later on tomorrow.

Here's a pic of what the fish looks like (not the one in our pond, but close):

Here's the pen I made:












Thanks for looking!

very well done. I love the blank

I like it. The stark separation for the white gives it a good counter point and breaks it up just right.

Beautiful pen...the hard contrast, white to "electric" blue is stunning. But it looks like a pen,not a fish! Maybe next time.
