Design Inspiration From The Past

[mark james]

I encourage anyone wanting some inspiration to check out the older threads (Show off your pens forum) from VisExp, and especially this beauty: Collaboration.

Note: Keith did the aluminum lattice inlay and Dawn added the artistry. Keith displays previous works with this type of segmenting.

Enjoy!

That collaboration of talents and materials made for one Exqusite Pen!
Thanks for bringing this timeless pen forward in time!

Ditto! As I didn't join until 2011 I'd never seen this pen before. I WILL be visiting the archives!

I have been amazed at some of the amazing artistry that was being displayed in IAP before I joined. Kind of like walking through a museum; you are not surprised at the wonderful work, but was simply not aware of it.

I have found that when you see someone's work that you like, go to their earliest posted threads and work forward in time. The progression of how they improved their skill set is very encouraging to a new or middle skill penturner - with effort and repeated mistakes, we can improve!
