Pheasant with jewels!!!

[ed4copies]

Another gorgeous piece of work by JohnU, mounted on the Cambridge Ultra TiGold and Sterling Silver

Enjoy---I did!!

We are looking for opinions on this one. I mounted it with the feathers meeting at the centerband. I wanted the pen to look good in the writing orientation, so that was "established". But Dawn and I tried the feathers parallel and this way---ultimately, this way won---but not by a lot.

Thoughts??

WOW!! Very nice looking pen.
I prefer the feathers meeting at the centre band.

I agree with Marla.

Boy,
you put a "headline" on a thread including the word "jewels" and suddenly all the ladies show up@!!!


Thanks for your input, ladies---we were undecided if it looked like we didn't know "which end was up":biggrin::biggrin:

Looks awesome Ed, although I agree with the ladies. How the pen looks closed is what seals the deal.

That's a beauty, I like the feathers meeting also.

I think you should let Dawn take the pictures.

Beautiful pen Ed ! I like the feathers toward the centerband also. Doc

Hey Chris!!

Yes she takes better pictures, but she reminds me she has posted over 200 new pages to the website in the last two days. Best not to ask her to do anything, right at this moment:tongue::tongue::tongue:

So, we'll have to live with my pics:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Looks great Ed! I think the feathers flow nicely the way you have it. This is a question I'm face with on many of the two part sets. Im not always sure what would be better but I'm always open to suggestions. I love the gold plating next to those feathers and the kit extras really make that pen stand out. It's a winner!

We certainly agree it is a beautiful pen, John. The next one this size I am going to put on Churchill hardware. It would be an interesting comparison, because both Dawn and I believe the feathers don't NEED the flashy kit--they are natural and should be allowed to show off on their own.

But, we WERE surprised at how well the above pen "came together". If I was doing shows it would be a $400 pen, and I believe I wouldn't have it long.

Thank-you, as usual, for your participation in Exotics----I truly enjoy "working" with you!!!

LOL Chris. Cameras and I do not get along.

I vote for Doc to take the pictures... I'll stick to resin!!! :biggrin:
