Lookee! Lookee! Lookee at what I got today (Friday)! I'm so excited. Steven (Skiprat) told me he was sending a little "Skiprat extra" - I never dreamed it would be THREE pens.
My photography skills with the new camera aren't the greatest, but here they are:

Aluminum (or aluminium as Steven would say) and copper and ????. This one is beautiful. And Steven says this is the very pen he made for the tutorial on the home page.

This material is just so gorgeous; one can see very deep into the material, and there isn't even a tiny bump between the green and the copper.
They are all just beautiful, but I have to admit that this one is my favorite of the three.

And this is the opposite side of the blank showing off the beautiful striations.

I don't know how he does it. The one I sent to him pales in comparison!!
Thank you, Steven (Skiprat) for these three beauties. When we were e-mailing back and forth, I told him I was honored that I'd be getting a pen from a Limey, and that I'd be the only person I know with a hand-made pen from a Brit (actually he lives in Wales, but....) I'm now the proud owner of three of his pens, and I just love them.
Thank you again, Steven.
