Well, I thought I'd spend a few minutes posting this pen that I recently finished. This one was one of my rare non-commissioned pens. I had a customer interested in this acrylic, but couldn't commit to it, as he wasn't sure how translucent it would be - and I didn't know either. So, I decided to have a go at it, and see for myself.
I made up this pen in a clipless style (mostly to save a couple hours extra work), and have fitted it with a polished steel JoWo broad nib. It is - no surprise - a cartridge/converter filler. Like most acrylic pens, it has a very nice feel in the hand, and this one is about the perfect size for me.
Anyhow, I really quite like how it came out. It turned out to be rather translucent, so I polished the inside as best I could, which worked fairly well. I rather like how one can see the nib even when the pen is capped. Besides, blue-green is awesome :)
Thanks for looking!
Any comments welcome.
