These seemed to be all the fashion ten years ago

I wanted to make a couple of pens using Chiyogami paper. I couldnt find the cloth backed variety and had to get a chap to do his best casting the paper that I had, which was more like wrapping paper.
Another friend turned them ( I hate turning Acrylic ) They are on an Aquilo and an Etesia kit.

Those are awesome! Can you share more about the process? I'm not sure how you take paper and turn it into a pen blank

They are beautiful but do not compare to your segmented pens.

They are made by gluing the paper around the brass tube, sealing it, and clear casting them. Once turned, the paper is magnified by the resin and appears to take the shape of the finished pen.

What John @JohnU says. Paul Buckley at https://www.penblanksandmoulds.co.uk/ converted them into blanks for me. If you are not aware of him, you should check him out....he's a good lad.

You're very kind, John.
I wanted to make a few for the ladies.
My wife says that most of my pens are masculine.......I don't know about that.
