Wow! My bookmark to the IAP website goes directly to "Show Off Your Pens!" and I was surprised to see my post of this pen near the top meaning someone added a new comment. Scrolling down I saw Jeff's "nice addition to the front page". Figuring the Home Page would get me to the "front page" I jumped to the Home Page and voila - my abalone pen! What a nice honor...new bragging rights! Those abalone blanks are eye-popping gorgeous and the Jr Anthony pen kit is a beauty, so pairing them could only result in a gorgeous pen. I've been working to improve my pen photography and with a piece of black faux velvet for the background and some simple steps using Picassa (free photo editing software) you can really enhance your pen posts with a good photo. Thanks for the kudos, it's a strong incentive to work on the next "great" pen!!
