A little something I made that I have been testing lately for comfort and ease of pocket carry. This is a shorter length fountain pen in "cool mint water" acrylic, which is one of my favorite acrylics! I love the transparency and character of the material. Due to its short length, the pen is short cartridge or eyedropper fill only. It uses a #6 size nib, and has a nickel silver handmade clip. `I am really enjoying using this pen. It is the same girth as my mid-large size pens, but a shorter length.

Beautiful pen !!!!

Why is it called a "demonstrator" ? . Because you can see through it ?

Thanks! Yeah, "demonstrator" loosely refers to the fact that you can see through it. I use the word "loosely" because people have different views on what actually constitutes a demonstrator. Some people only consider pens that are completely crystal clear to be demonstrators, while others consider basically anything see through to be one.

You do some remarkable work, but your demonstrators are always my faves. This one is no exception, it's beautiful. I always enjoy seeing a nice fountain pen.
