SO.... This was challenging to make! Many hours have gone into the creation of this one, with many pitfalls along the way I have managed to avoid.

Crafted from aircraft grade aluminium, and Anodised with three colours featuring butterflies throughout, with a medium JoWo Fountain nib.

OK... I hate your guts!

That is beautiful, Brad! The profile of the pen is very nice and the butterflies are awesome.

Couple of questions: What are the dimensions, looks a bit short, but looks may be deceiving and I have confidence that the dimensions are what you want.

Nice to see your work again.

All the best, Mark
 
lol thanks Mark. It's deceiving. the dimensions are actually pretty close to a full sized gent! 15mm diameter at its widest point, and I'm estimating around 140mm in length without breaking the ruler out. Certainly enough room to hold a converter inside :smile:

Gotcha! Looks sweet from this side of the pond.! Nice work Brad.
 
nice work as usual Brad. Always good to see your work. We know it will be something very interesting and different to look at. Love to see people who expand the art of pen making. Thanks for showing.
 
Looking good from this side of the pond.

Thanks Bruce. I'm just over the moon I figured out how to strip the colour off without damaging the edge of what I was trying to preserve with the masking.

I am feeling very inadequate. That is awesome.

Thansk Chris :wink:

That is awesome!

:biggrin:
