FP from England has Arrived!!!
ericofpendom was my swap partner for this July PITH. Eric had his pen made & sent to me in record time... But somehow the delivery slowed to a stall (so it seemed to me who was eagerly checking the mail box daily). Delivery time from England is not fast and it even seems slower when you are aticipating receivng something nice...
Needless to say the day arrived with a package in the mail. Did not even make it in the house but had the package ripped open on the back porch. (Small insert here-Eric had posted pics of some of the blanks that he has been casting. I did not mention this to Eric but was hoping that the pen he made, would have come from one of his personal casted blanks.)
Once I opened the package, I sat & stared at the pen!!! Fantastic looking fountain pen with amazing colors. Pen form, fit, & finish--perfect!!! The blank was amazing with the many different colors blended together. Got to looking a little closer at the pen & realized more details showing up in Eric's work. I then noticed that he had turned a custom finial & a center band. All I could think of is that is one fantastic looking pen!!! But that was not all, dug a little deeper into the package & out came 3 more of Eric's fantastic looking blanks... Looking at pictures #2 & #3, if you check out pen blank #3, you will see both sides of it. Looks like a different blank but it is actually the same blank.
This was my first pen swap on IAP.
I thank you Eric--could not be any happier with the pen or blanks that you sent...
