Shades of Purple

Here is another one i made the other day. For some reason i cracked the cap on this one as well:frown: not sure what the deal was, but i made another one:biggrin: This is Burgundy Italian Acrylic with 14mm threads and a #6 Meisternib.

All Comments Welcome

Thanks For Looking

Justin

Sorry Justin but I have run out of adjectives to describe your pens :biggrin:
They are all amazing but unique in their own rights.
I really the style and shape of this pen.

I would like to see the pen you carry sometime :biggrin:

Another beautiful pen! Nice job!

Another nice one. Too bad about the cracked caps. Have you discovered why this happened TWICE? I would be interested in knowing what to avoid. The clips look good too.

User error when making my mandrels and when actually turning the cap. It gets pretty thin down around the cap on some of these and if im not paying attention, i go just a little to small:frown: Ooops....only way to avoid it is to pay better attention

Now that looks almost good enough to take a bite out of. Looks like a raspberry cobbler to me, only prettier.
On a side note, I hope all you people are not getting too tired of me bragging on the wonderful pieces of art my son is creating. I just think they are gorgemous and for only being in the VORTEX for a year, his work is just astounding. I realize that I am a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny bit prejudice but try to look at his work fairly. Though I do think he is going to kick booty in the Best of IAP contest!!! And I SWEAR I am not prejudice. Really. I'm not. I promise I'm not.

LOL....Randy....IMHO...I think you have a lot of BIAS and that's because your son has a lot of TALENT and I would be surprised if you weren't bragging....I would be....and that's all I have to say about that:biggrin:. Doc

Randy,

Another wonderfully designed and crafted pen. I have attended the Atlanta Pen Show for the past five years and Justin's work is as good or better than most of what is on display there.

 

[lorbay]

That is another sweet pen Justin. I think you should come to BC for a visit and give me some lessons. Free room and board.

LOL Doc, I learned many moons ago not to brag on Justin too much. When you do, his head starts swelling and his dreads start sticking out like one of those Chia pets!!! Of course he will probably stomp me into a mud puddle and then stomp me dry after saying that!:bulgy-eyes: All in all though, I do have to brag. He does make me proud of his art and of himself with the fine work he does here.:biggrin:
