Very nice Bruce. The clip looks great and I really like the fluting on the upper barrel (column).

Do you have a close up of the relief carved bust?

Thanks Keith. The pen is gone and I don't have a good close-up. Maybe the owner/member will do the honor. This is the model I used - still need to perfect some things so maybe its a good idea I don't have a good close up:)

Keith I did the best I could. But I am afraid that any photographic "skills" that I may have ....suck. I just can not seem do Bruce's remarkable work justice. :redface:

The bust is in a pearl white resin and it is difficult for my camera to tell the carving from the swirls. But my eye has no problem!!! All the locks of Alex's hair really stand out, and you can clearly see the curve of his cheek and jaw, as well as the tiniest of details in the mouth and nose. But what is really is amazing is detail in the eye :cool: (which you can not see at all in the photo). I guess if you want to see this better, you will just have to leave the warmth and comfort of Florida and "drop in" on the frozen tundra! :biggrin:

When I first received Alexander, I was simply flabbergasted. I had the pen displayed in my office for a while just so that I could gaze at it during the day. I have to say that is so stunning, that everyone who came in and saw the pen, immediately froze in their tracks. After that I just could NOT get them out of my office!! :eek:

Bruce, this pen was such a surprise and it is sooo amazingly beautiful. I can not imagine the hours of work that you put into making this treasure. Then to find out that it is really mine!!!! My words are simply not adequate to express my astonishment and gratitude. For the bottom of my heart, please accept a very heartfelt...

Thank You!!
