Transparent Teal Fountain Pen

[jalbert]

Here is a fountain pen I finished up, which I made from transparent teal acrylic and silver. It's a mid size pen, about 14mm in diameter at the thickest part of the barrel, but tapers down at both ends. The cap threads are 13mm and I placed them on the front of the pen so I could play around with a smooth curved body shape. The pen has an internal piston mechanism for filling, which allowed me to forego a removable section. The pen is threaded for any nib with a bock #8 housing, but currently has a Magna Carta brand nib in it. I embellished the cap band and clip with a traditional running leaf style motif to add a little snazziness to contrast the plain acrylic.

Talk about a juxtaposition! That smooth, beautiful object on a rough, raw concrete block - gives me the heebie-jeebies thinking about scraping it.

The silver work is such a nice contrast to the barrels, it raises the pen to an art object.

Seeing /studying your creations is always a treat and a nice way to start the day!

Very nice. How do you make the piston mechanism? Or, is there one you purchase? That's one I'm trying to figure out.
