Red Velvet

[Buzzzz4]

This is a home cast I came upon by accident. I was working to get the right red for another pen I was working on, this wild red came out in the process. The cool part is that I know how I made it and can recreate it! Black and red cast in Alumilite clear. I put it on my first Princeton. Strange pen components. I like how they feel in the hand, but not totally sold on the look.

Thanks for looking!

Looks good from my house. How do you like the pen? My wife and I really like it with its different design and twists smooth as silk.

The blank looks good, Eric. I've got a Princeton, just haven't done anything with it yet. The bold color goes well with the silver components.

Very nice blank, black T/N might have complimented the color better. The pen kit like you said comfortable to write with but not much to look at. Pen looks great either way.

Very nice colors. What did you use for red if I may ask?

You did a great job on that. I agree with you on the pen once it is put together. I have been using one as my carry pen for a couple of months and somehow the balance is off just a little bit.

I love the look and the feel of it but every time I pick it up to write it feels strange for some reason.

Putting the kit issues aside that is a good looking blank done well.

Sweet blank Eric! Looks like there's some pearl in the red or am I just seeing things? Any reverse painting?

As for the kit, if it didn't have the flat spots on the nib and finial end I'd love it. To me they shouldn't be there bc it breaks up all those nice swooping curves!

 

[Buzzzz4]

Thank you. The blank is what really makes this pen. Jonathon, the pen is reverse painted with silver. I thought about black, but didn't want the red washed out. There is some mica pearl in it.

Very nice. I'll bet it looks even better in 3D.

Very nice. I'll bet it looks even better in 3D.

It is quite a stunner in person. One full size blank left of this. I will have to find just the right pen for it.
