An Angel on Toni

[BRobbins629]

My daughter really liked Toni's clay work so I made some longer baron size ebonite tubes for a closed end roller ball and sent them off to New Zealand. They came back a while ago and I finally got around to finishing the pen and a sterling silver angel clip she wanted. Not my favorite proportions, but a nice writer nonetheless.

Fit for an angel and I bet she loves it. As always your work is outstanding.

Bruce;
Both you and Toni continually amaze me! Spectacular "heavenly angel". Kudos to both artists!

That's a really nice pen.

Very nice work and a beautiful pen. Something artistic for a young artist!

Newbie question: Did you cast it? Looks like PR around the middle.

The floral design was made by Toni. She gives an explanation on how here:

The ends are ebonite; the clip was carved in wax and then cast in silver using lost wax method.

Great job on the clip. Your wax carving skills are outstanding! Doc

Ebonite tubes and PC....that all had to be baked! Oh, I bet there were a few words about you in the Ransfield household!:biggrin:

Worth it though Bruce. The end result is beautiful. Love the angel clip, and of course Toni's work is always spectacular. Your daughter should be thrilled!

I warned her, she said she would do it near a window in the kitchen, but indeed I did get a call. Seems she forgot the warning. Said something like "WHAT THE *&!@% DID YOU SEND ME!!!"

 

[ed4copies]

So, did you tell her you had to send it to her!!!
