Hi all,
My wife decided that she wanted me to make a pen each for her brother and his new wife. They had a Steampunk themed wedding and she saw a blank someone else made that had watch gears imbedded in PR. I've contacted that person on another forum, but no luck so far. I have a couple questions regarding these pens and blanks.
1) I was wondering if anyone on this forum would be up for making me a couple custom blanks? I could provide the gears and pen barrels.
2) She wants the pen for her brother to be a fountain pen and the one for his wife to be a rollerball. But wants them to look very similar in size, shape, style, finish, etc. but hers to be lighter and more feminine. I showed her a bunch of different kits last night online, but no luck. Any suggestions?
I've looked into casting my own blanks, but don't feel comfortable trying that for the first time on such important pens.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
Chris
