Stripes and Burls

[wizard]

Made it earlier today. It's a Stripes and Burls blank with Sky Blue Resin from ElMostro on a 22K Jr. Statesman Rollerball. Hard to photograph. Looks better in person. Has a high gloss CA finish which doesn't show in the pictures very well. As usual, comments welcome but most of all thanks for just looking. Doc

P.S. I couldn't stand the pictures as they looked so different from the pen so I tried a new background and they came out looking more representative of what the pen actually looks like. Thanks for looking. Doc

Beautiful pen my friend. I think you made the other striped pen a week or two ago also. I really like the look of color through wood.
I am only telling this to you, but your stripes are not lined up from body to cap. Unless the cap just is not tight.:biggrin:

New pictures

I couldn't stand the pictures as they looked so different from the pen so I tried a new background and they came out looking more representative of what the pen actually looks like. So I replaced them above. Thanks for looking. Doc

"I think you made the other striped pen a week or two ago also."

Brian, I don't remember making a striped one a week or two ago but with my memory...

"I am only telling this to you, but your stripes are not lined up from body to cap. Unless the cap just is not tight."

Tightened the cap. Check out third picture. A little better. Brian, Thanks for looking. Doc

I am digging it Doc. NICELY executed for sure. I think you did very well with the stripes. I personally know how stripes aren't always easy to make look good. I am impressed.

Doc,
Did not have the previous pics to compare but if I may accept your invitation once more.

Pic 1. The tension between the burl and the blue is released with the blue appearing as a stream of azure blue moving ocean yet captured and held in the pen itself.

Pic 2. The pen top attention focuses on the top and coloured band that sometimes overpowers some pens in the form of bling but no it is softly stated with this design. Having the previous picture we are already familiar with the bottom section. Proportions change giving strength to the top.

Pic 3. Completes the trio normalising the whole, love the gentle undulations in the blue, this separates the two halves yet completes the pen.

Most restfull peaceful pen a real pleasure to view indeed among the special of pens you have made.

Kind regards Peter.

Peter, Your analytic and thoughtful description of the artistic aspects of all pens, not just mine, stands out. Moreover, your written delivery of your observations is done with such eloquence. You are an amazing individual!
Regards, Doc
