Look I Can Make A Pen With Subdued Colors

Recommended Posts

I really like making loud and almost obnoxious pens. I think that is half the fun of being able to make whatever you want. More and more I am getting requests for black or mostly black or solid colored or.... and the list goes on. All I get out of those suggestions is that I should make a more conservative "classy" type of pen. Well, drumroll..., here is my first attempt. I used jet black acrylic combined with a color explosion blank in blue and black. Pen is 6 inches long capped and 5 1/2 inches on its own. It doesn't post and is designed as a desk pen. It is a converter (Schmidt k6) fill and has a medium JOWO nib. I think I kinda like it but... don't tell anyone I don't want to ruin my reputation as a guy who make gaudy pens. You be the judge questions and comments welcome and this pen also needs a home :o .

Come see some of my handmade pens!!!

Once I heard an expression on this forum,"molten sky". Here I see a melting sky with whirlpools and wormholes. Doesn't that clip resemble a sky ship? However, if the pen was designed as a desk pen and it is not an eye dropper then why are there so many threads on the body. They interfere in the galactic continuity of the pen and that smooth jet engine of a section. I loved the stopper design that would perhaps give fingers a comfortable place to rest upon.

 

Beautiful in some transcendental sort of way...

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
