Ballerina Pen Ideas

[JessPens]

Hi,

I am new to the forum and hope I am in the right area to ask this question. I am also somewhat new to pen turning, I started a couple of months ago and am enjoying it immensely. I am glad I found this group, the forums seem to a font of information and I am looking forward to learning from them!

So, I have this friend who is a ballerina and her husband asked me if I could make her a pen. His thought was that I would find a beautiful gold clip with a ballerina on it and then it would just be about the wood and turning. Well, a clip with a ballerina on it does not seem to exist so I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how to approach this?

Thank you in advance,
Jesse

Laser engraving or decal on the pen body would be my first suggestion. I don't think you'll find a clip to fit the need in this case.
