"A Touch of Picasso"

[akbar24601]

Let me start by saying, that title is in no way any form of reference to myself. After turning this design down, I found it rather reminiscent of a Picasso piece that I had seen at some point in time.

This is a beautiful piece of Silky Oak that I got from Keith at ZambezieExotics. The segmenting is Ebony veneer. The kit is a Retro Gold Titanium Fountain Pen from LauLau. BLO/CA finish.

Thank you for checkin' it out. Any and all comments welcome.

Awesome work Steve. The silky oak is some special wood and you've really enhanced it with the inlays.

Just like Jeff said, long time no see Steve. Nice to see that you haven't lost your touch. Nice clean sharp lines:biggrin:

Great work, Steve!! If you continue in the artist vein, stay away from van Gogh. I hear that can be a bit tough on the ears.

Beautiful work Steve, I was thinking about you this morning and about to see if any one had heard from you, Good to see you're still in fine form.

Dawn, I don't understand. Are you speaking in code?? :wink::biggrin::wink:

I truly believe that she is!!! I think that flute that Skippy made for her has gotten to her head and now she is talking Gibberish!!!:biggrin::biggrin: The only cure that I can see is that Steven gives us all one of those cool flutes and then we can understand what the heck Dawn is talking about!!!:biggrin::wink::biggrin:


BTW, Thank you to all for all of your kind words and a very nice welcome back! I cannot begin to express what a wonderful community this is and I am very thankful for the support that it offers!

Careful William, if you give too much away, you will have to be x'd out.:wink::biggrin:

Yeah, well good luck with both of those!!:biggrin:

BTW Steve VERY nice pen. I like how the lines of the veneer move around the pen. I does not look like an inlay at all!

I for one am truly happy to see you back.... And posting cool pens again!

Don't worry Dawn. Steve called me this afternoon. He understands the code exactly now :wink: :biggrin:

I think it's time for me to go away again!!! Apparently, since I've been gone, everyone has started using some new language! God knows I have trouble enough with plain old English! I do like the whole putting red letters in the words, it makes 'em purtier!

Steve,
Great looking pen. It looks like you have been busy.

 

[nava1uni]

Beautiful work, nice clean crisp lines and the finish sets it off. I really like it a lot.

What a nice piece of art! My artist cousin says Van Gogh would be honored at your rendition. Great work!
