Esties & Idylls & Dragons -- Oh, My!


Scriptorium Pens

Recommended Posts

This Small Idyll, featuring a section that holds Easterbrook nib units, was a super fun pen to make. The material is Blue Nebula alumilite by Jonathon Brooks, and the roll stopper is a sterling silver dragon. Eyedropper filling system.

You could offer your own PMC (Precious Metal Clay) roll stoppers. They are easily made with silver PMC clay (which behaves like modelling clay), and then can be fired with a blow lamp to turn it into fine silver 10% smaller.

 

The background to this is that my wife volunteered me on a PMC course as she's into making jewellery & didn't want to go on her own. I'm currently making bronze PMC furniture for a pen - hopefully the clip I've modelled will work when fired.

Lovely, as are the other pens I saw on your site. Maybe someday.... I love the Unicorn roll stopper too. :-)

That's something I definitely plan to look into. Another friend has talked to me about PMC, too. Sounds like it has some cool possibilities.

Great looking piece Renee!

 

 

I just can't believe how gorgeous that is.

Excellent idea with the Estie nibs!

 

 

Gorgeous colors, and I love the dragon. I'm writing a fantasy for Nano -- wouldn't it be perfect?

 

It would be! I'm a fantasy fan myself. Good luck with the writing!

 

 

Beautiful pen, Renée :)

 

Thanks, everyone!

      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
