"Windowz" Ti Gold Jr. Gent II

[akbar24601]

No, this has nothing to do with Bill Gates. Although, if he should ever happen to read this and wants to sponsor me, that would be A-OK with me!!!:biggrin:

Of course, it does have to do with what I hoped to look like Stained Glass Windows in the pen. These are more goodies that I got from exoticblanks.com. The surrounding body is Burnt Copper PR and the windows are comprised of Trans. Turq. Lagoon and Trans. Gold Pink PR with Brass inserts. I MM'd the blank and then applied a coat of MaGuire's fine scratch remover and gave a coat of NuFinish. Just a little something to keep the Brass from tarnishing too soon. I'm pleased with how it came out, though I do think I would like it better as an FP.

Thanks so much for loookin'. Any and all comments and critiques are welcome.

P.S. - Trying something new with the mirror. Let me know what you think.

Steve, I believe you accomplished the windowz effect. Beautiful work!!

 

[wolftat]

Very nice work! I agree, fountain pens always seem very classy... especially on a beautiful blank like that. It's too bad you can't interchange the tips on the GENT.. one of the things I do like about the Baron line...

Original and gorgeous!:glasses-cool::glasses-cool::glasses-cool:

Why can't you change the tips? I just pulled 2 out of my collection and they are interchangable.

Is that gents? or Jr's? I know the Jr's are interchangeable.. never tried
a gent.

[thewishman]

Really, really beautiful! Those windowz look have a lot of depth - more than is possible in a blank. Great effect!

Steve,
since I was lucky enough to see this pen in person today I think I'm qualified to say that the pen is fantastic but the your picturing taking needs help.. It doesn't do your work justice.. So go read a book or take some lessons...

 

[CaptG]

Fantastic work Steve. You just continue to amaze me. Keep it up.

 

[TBone]

Excellent job, that looks fantastic.

 

[watchman7]

Very, very nice work.

 

[VisExp]

Stunning pen Steve. Great work. The segmenting is great and the color combinations are perfect.

I normally find a mirror in the picture very distracting, but for some reason in your pictures it is not. Normally you get a bunch of different reflections.

 

[Jim15]

Awesome pen.

 

[cnirenberg]

Steve,
That's very cool indeed. Awesome segmentation.

 

[mickr]

Somehow I missed this the first time thru..wow it is stunning and when I first saw it I said to meeself..hey, that looks like stained glass..so your attempt panned out well..lovely segmenting..gorgeous color combo, and nice finish

 

[Ligget]

Steve that is a gorgeous pen, fantastic segmenting, a top dollar pen!

 

[broitblat]

Another beautiful creation!

I think you really captured the stained glass effect -- the brass really highlights the colors.

Steve, what do you use to glue in the tubes? I ask as I realized a while back that using GG behind a transparent resin gives a very interesting look like a lot of the old stained glass pieces. CKinda bubbly if you know what I mean.


So when are you going to try a FLW inspired design? :wink:

 

[cinder_ladylocket]

Double triple WOW!!!

 

[dasimm]

Exemplary

 

[skiprat]

Wow!!! Some very cool segmenting!!! Well done Steve. The Gisi's had better watch out:biggrin:

 

[mitchm]

Awesome work Steve, looks real stunning!!!

 

[PR_Princess]

Stained glass?? Something tells me that I better watch out!:biggrin:

Just gorgeous Steve!! What you can do with a few colored bits of plastic ..I can't wait to see the next evolution!!!!

So when are you going to try a FLW inspired design? :wink:
