A Geeky (And Unexpected) Pen Wrap

[TheGreatRoe]

This afternoon when I checked my mail I found a surprise..

 

Rewind...

A couple of months ago a good friend of mine started asking questions about my pens. She's a crafty-artsy type and thought that the ability of write and draw with a more diverse palette would be fun. So after fielding a couple dozen questions from her I put together a little care package of pens for her to try out. Nothing spectacular--I loaded her Metropolitan, and Jinhao 159 and a Safari, along with a bottle of X-Feather and a few ink samples. She played with them for a few weeks and she would up keeping the Metropolitan and the ink. The Jinhao was too heavy for her, and the Safari was strictly a loaner. Since then she's picked up a couple of Pilot Parallels, as well.

 

Fast-Forward...

In today's mail I found a package from my friend. In and of itself, that was odd. After all I see her often--in fact I'll see her in a few days. In side the package was a handwritten thank you card (in X-Feather ) and a handmade pen wrap.

 

 

That's a sonic screwdriver charm on the end of the cord. This goes nicely with my Firefly pen wrap.

So cool!! Too bad you can't do a telephone both wrap:)

that's awesome!!

That's awesome. Any clue where she got the charm?

And did you say "Firefly pen wrap"? Pix, or it didn't happen in the 'verse!

That is fantastic.

 

I also agree with Ruth. Let's see that shiny Firefly wrap.

I can overlook the "Doc Whomever" stuff, but you can't claim to own a Serenity inspired wrap without supporting photographs! Tempt me if you must, without a detailed closeup of the sonic screwdriver, it may exist no more than your supposed Firefly wrap.

Did I harass you enough for pictures?

 

Edit: oh, I see. You post pics before I post my witty reparté and shame you into doing it. Clever.

Sadly I can't see it well on my tablet. PM me and I'll give you my address so you can send it for me to examine more closely.

(Anyone think he fell for that?)

Ill-u-min-nate!

 

I have some hard-core Whovian friends who run podcasts dedicated to Doctor Who; I'll definitely have to show them this.

That is pretty awesome. I think my brother needs one of these -- and he's not even a pen person.... Where did you get it?

Thanks for posting the pics. That is a wrap worthy of a Browncoat.

I had it custom made by a member of FPN (Daisy25). I supplied the charm (from Etsy) and the outer fabric (from Spoonflower).
