A Family of Pens for Christmas, 2021

[Bob in SF]

A wonderful family asked for a family of pens for Christmas (couldn't argue with that!).

Grandpa wanted a fountain pen.

Warmest regards to all of you who believe that we are here to reflect our creativity up to a higher power.

Fondly - Bob

Extremely nice work, Bob ! !

Thanks for showing ! !

I am always amazed at your colorful finishing.

Are those wooden pens ?

 

[Bob in SF]

Heartfelt thanks, Mal - and warm regards!

The stylus pens were done with a few layers of home made paint, then cast with Douglas and Sturgess Clear Casting resin (mixed with metal flakes).

The fountain pen is stabilized maple burl - then I applied a layer of UV cured epoxy resin, inked the barrel ends with alcohol inks, then applied a second layer of uvcured epoxy resin.

That's a great looking 'family' of pens, and all a wee bit different.

and a Happy Christmas to you, also.
