The pen holder was made to look like an old tree stump and hold my dragon pen. It is made from Polymer Clay in the old Japanese method called Mokume Gane. This takes materials of different colores and stacks them to blend the colors together. The bottom view shows the stacked layers and resembles the growth rings of a tree. It also shows how the clay was moulded around the brass pen well. Process is a little more complex, but that is the general idea. The dragon pen is a cast resin, finished in acrylic paints, and 2 coats of matte varnish. As odd as the shape may look, it fits nicely in the hand. Jim S
