Ruby Red 'Simplicity II' Style Fountain Pen

This has been a good week for shop time so far!

This design, the 'Simplicity II' is one that I have not made for many months, being sidetracked by other projects.  However, it was - and still is - one of my very favourites.  The original, which I had named 'Simplicity of Heart' was made to try to embody a clean, simple uncomplicated pattern - one that could show off the beauty of a nice acrylic without the distraction of curves, clips, bands etc.  The first one was made with a black grip section, which I quickly replaced with a matching one (and so, 'Simplicity II').

In fact, it was the 'Simplicity' design that led to a variation on a theme, the 'Bamboo' style pens.

This material, the red flake acrylic is an incredibly vivid dark ruby red, very suitable for this style of pen.  The pen is fitted with a medium two-tone steel JoWo nib, and is a cartridge/converter filler.

The pen will be headed to Malaysia in the next day or so.

Thanks for looking!
