Roll Tide Fountain Pen

[firewhatfire]

I had a customer challenge to make a pen as a gift. It was going to a Alabama football fan. I used a virage fountain pen kit. So I segmented Mexican red heart and white acrylic, then waterslide decaled houndstooth on the white before giving it a good CA finish. Comments and critiques are welcome and thanks for looking.

I like the way you incorporated Bear's houndstooth chapeau fabric.

Very impressive! Nice color in the material.

Very well done, indeed. I think this has front page written all over it.

I second the wanting a blank. It should be Blanks as all my family live in AL. Ahhhh!

Not a Tide fan but, as a coach, I LOVE the respect shown for one of the best ever! Great job!

When I look at the decal, I see an evil cat army marching in formation

Thanks for the kind comments. It was a fun little challenge. I just had to think around it a bit to execute. Maybe I will do another and and take good photos for demo.

That's *really* nice looking. I like the way you used the differing materials together. Is the finial a bit proud? Nice pictures too.

Cheers,

Great pen, and yes, great homage to the Bear. I will have to think of doing something similar for my team; the team that almost made them 5 and 1 this year...
