His and Her Set

[Jontello]

Here are some pics of some recent pens. I made these for some good friends of mine, a married couple. Her favorite color was purple and his was green. I decided i wanted the same look but in different colors. I hand painted these and this is the result. It was a lot of fun making them.

Beautiful set Jon! These are great together.

Consider making the top finials in matching materials - It really adds a lot to the appearance! Jason showed me how to do this - and their also are totorials:

After I did 2-3 they were very easy and a regular element whenever I can.
