Just go for it, Laurie!!! Perfection may be a long time coming and you will certainly be your own worst critic. If you are not happy with your first effort, you can always do another one. I'm sure there would be plenty of folks who would be happy to have the one you weren't quite satisfied with. And I bet it will turn out a lot better than you are thinking right now!!
Think I said this once before; but it bears repeating. It seems a shame to under utilize your artistic talents on an inexpensive pen kit.....sort of like putting a $10,000 custom paint job on a 5 year old Kia. Think about doing a Jr. Statesman or an Imperial with the Rhodium and Black Titanium plating.....that would be a knockout combination!! [
