Bsea with a bit of Brooks'

[watch_art]

One for a student - a graduating senior - getting this Friday at the awards ceremony. She may be getting a scholarship too - not sure yet. Still waiting on all the scores to come in.

I was absolutely blown away by the colors in the orange. So so pretty.


Thanks for looking.

Neat design Shawn! i like the pointy ends,and the clip looks great,are they the school colors?

Thanks!

Not school colors - her mom told me these were her favorite two colors so I went with them.

Apparently she's been bugging her mom to buy her a pen for a while now and I just found out. Her mom said she was going to pull money out of her savings. That was just about hte biggest compliment I could have gotten.

She's a really hard worker and a really good kid, and a pretty darn good artist, so I had been planning to make her a pen for a while.

Mom knows best, also Shawn i was wondering would you care to reveal the clip supplier, they look really nice thanks in advance.

spectacular pen. the color combo is great

Thanks.
The clip is a vintage find. I lucked into a small box of these that I had gold and chrome plated. I think they're old Italian or German clips. I've seen them on FPN before on some old piston filler pens.

Looks great Shawn. Got a kick out of the thread title. Now you need to make another with the majority of my blank and a "bit of Bsea" :tongue:

That sounds like a winner! Brooks with a bit of Bob. :tongue:

And I gave away this pen (and one other) today at the awards ceremony. She was absolutely thrilled and completely surprised. That was probably the most satisfied customer I've ever had. :biggrin:
