Hi all. After the Banksia pen I wanted to get back to the Steampunk Collection that I'm building up. Here is the latest addition to it. This pen features the Skeleton look by being made of 2 glass test tubes cut to the appropriate length. This proved to be much easier than you would first believe. The most difficult part is to keep everything straight and lined up. It's not perfect even now but it is close enough. The glass tubes are removable because I wanted to be able to replace them. Once you have removed the rim of the test tube they become quite delicate. I think the tube on the cap needs to be slightly shorter so that the nib fills the tube better and the pics have highlighted a few joints that could be tidied up but I'm happy with it for now. As always, thanks for taking the time to look at my efforts.
Simon.
