Whenever I log onto this site I get here via the Home Page. This way I get to see the hot current topics real quick and also check the New Posts. But one thing I always do is check out the Random Photos at the left of the screen. Sometimes i get to see a pen that brought back memoreies from when it was shown and maybe even the artist. I have mentioned this in the past that some of the finest pens get lost and not seen again here. Well this was the case of this pen. I had not seen this pen in years but it was in the back of my feeble mind somewhere and when I saw it it brought back memories. I think more people should check out some of the past pen photos. There are various ways of doing this but checking out the Random Photos on the front page is a good start. Some really talented artists passed through these pages over the years.
The pen took on a discussion because it was unique and the technique was not seen here before. Roy Quast made the pen and made a couple versions of it and each one is unique. He went on to write a tutorial on how he did it but from what I know he posted on another forum and that forum disbanded. I have not been able to find that tutorial. If someone has it or can lead me to it i would be grateful.
The reason is there are some pens that show up here that amaze me in the makings of them and I want to try to duplicate them to a point to pay thanks to those artists and to see if I can get close to what they have shown. I usually save the pen somewhere on the net but this one I did not. To this day it still amazes me.
Here is the pen I am talking about and here is the second one that came from the first. Each a work of art and a show of patience. Job well done.
