This young lady has an excellent site. Her pens look great, and she has a Make-Your-Own feature on the site allowing buyers to choose their own pen model, hardware, and blank.

I wonder if PSI knows she has borrowed some pictures?

That's pretty cool.

PSI offers (has offered) a brochure and info sheet for people who want to start their business allowing those who purchase the "kit" to use some for their start up website/brochure of their own.

I hope your right. I would hate to see this enterprising young lady get taken to task over this. But this brings up a question, is she (by displaying pens that are not what she made) being less than honest with her customers? And I'm not trying single her out, because I'm sure she is not the only one. Personally, while the PSI photographs are typically very well done, I would not want to pass of their work as mine, because it is often over and under turned, lacks painted holes, bulbous, etc.

Well.... Interestingly enough, she has the IAP logo on her page so she is aware of us.
And she is ONE smart cookie and could probably teach some of us some things... Her pens start at $32 so she isn't giving them away and she sold a George Washington tree pen for $550. Good kid and parenting!

So if she is a member here, who is she?

I hope the photos of her turning are staged for the photo display. The long hair so close to the lathe along with no dust mask makes for unhealthy events
Her family are members here - followed the trail of clues from the name on the website! 
Good website for only having turned since April of this year - impressive!

Looks good. She stoled my idea. I was thinking of coming up with a design your own area also.

In Latest News at the bottom last articile she says _ " If I want to continue, I will need to setup an actual business and start paying taxes. That doesn't sound like fun." I hope she is paying them now.
The pens that are not stock look really good. And who could resist not buying from a young lady.
I hope she continues and gets active on here.

Its not very often that you see an 11 year old and say, I want to be like her when I grow up, just the boy version.
I'm impressed and will be showing this to my computer game addicted 10 year old, and his WII addicted 6 year old brother. I know I am the parent, and I hate these games anyway but it happened. Breaking the habit is a PIA.
