Angels and Demons". Double-cast from black and white opaque urethane in a 360 degree tessellated pattern, this pen symbolizes the dualistic nature of good and evil. The images are the same on both barrels, but the black "demons" are more apparent against the white lower section whereas the white "angels" are easier to visualize on the black cap - a metamorphosis from one end to the other. I chose not to add a clip because I felt the imagery would be clearer without it.

Pen #1 by Robert111
In 1929 Sheaffer introduced the Balance, a slick art deco design that would head its lineup for the next 15 years. My version close to Sheaffer's classic Oversize model: 5 5/8 inches long capped and 5/8 inches in diameter at the cap bands. Before beginning I sketch the pen to establish exact diameters at precise points along its length, and then the surface is turned to those precise dimensions. The clip seam and cap bands are undetectable to touch. The cap and barrel screw together smoothly in 1 1/4 turns. The blood-veined green pearl material I used is the same celluloid Sheaffer used in their 1990s Limited Edition Millenium, a tribute to the original Balance. The clip is a rhodium plated Triton, and the steel nib/feed unit is from German maker Jowo. The cap bands are sterling silver stamped out of flat stock by hand with dies and a brass hammer on my bench.
