Custom Fountain Pens Done In Purple And Gold Flexigran

[PMcRoadPen48]

It has been a while since I posted pictures of fountain pens I have completed. Here are a pair, done in purple and gold Flexigran, but different in style. Neither pen has a clip because clips were not desired. On the smaller pen with the rounded finials, I worked with Bob Dupras to come up with a solid alumilite color close to but not exactly the same color of purple of the Flexigran. The section of that pen is done in the same alumilite. The other larger pen has the single finial done in Italian resin. For those interested, the Flexigran and the Italian resin both came from Richard L. Greenwald.

Purple Cow – Williams College

http://www.thebestcolleges.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/4-purple-cow.jpg

From the simply uncreative to the plainly insane, no one at Williams College in Massachussettes seems to know how or why a strange purple cow with a yellow streak became the school’s official mascot, yet they accept it without question. “Ephelia” – as she was named by a radio contest in 1952 – is thought to have been inspired by a nonsense poem about purple cows written by Gelett Burgess or by Williams’ own humor magazine entitled “The Purple Cow” dating back to 1907. Wherever she came from however, it’s clear that “Ephs” the world over love their lavender Dr. Seussian bovine nightmare, even if they still have no idea where exactly she came from.
