I wanted to share some pics of my most recent work before the holidays and to say thanks to everybody for all the support the last few months for both my work and the Newton Pens Scholarships. So far we've raised just over $3300 to give to high school students for college expenses. Thank you all so much!
If you want to help contribute to the fund (and a chance to win your own custom Newton pen) please visit my site here to read all about it. And of course if you have any questions please send me a note to shawn@newtonpens.com
Thanks!
First are pics of some stuff I normally don't do, and yes these were a pain in my butt.
These are all Christmas presents for family. Nobody here uses fountain pens except me and my wife, so I made them all ballpoints and a pencil.
The long clickers are from exotic blanks. The little twist pen was a prize at a pen turners club meeting a while back.
L-R - Purple and red acrylic, BSea custom alumilite, vintage green/black celluloid, Mutt Blanks alumilite, Scott's custom blue and bronze (slabs blanks and boards), and stripey purple acrylic.
And here is some of my normal work.
Black ebonite-
Brooks alumilite-
acrylic-
Brooks alumilite (poured with the help of the lady who got the pen) - the sterling silver is melted down from an old necklace that belonged to her husband's mom. This is the second pen with that sterling in it.
Clear and black/white acrylic-
electric storm acrylic-
Conway Stewart Dartmoor with some Desert Ironwood (thanks Brooks!)
Black ebonite, sterling trim and clip, and some mazzucheli stuff.
