The illuminated Amber pen and quarts burgundy look beautiful. Where do you source the Amber acrylic ?

All of it , but those koi alumilites are something. Would be cool to see a pen with icing on the cap & barrel ends & color swirl in the middle.

More lovely pens Renée. Keep up the great work.

They're all really attractive looking pens, but I really love the arctic koi alumilite. Nice work!

As usual, beautiful work Renee.

 

I have been working a lot in dip pens lately, I would love to know how you did the crow quill fitting. Is it an insert, or did you create your own fitting?

Thanks! It's from a pipe making supplier in Germany.

Thanks, Darrin. I made my own. It's a brass rod cut and sanded on the end to be smooth. It goes inside about 21mm or so, with about 5 or 6 mm a bit wider at the front of the hole to allow the crow quill nib to slide up inside. I actually used an ebonite sleeve inside to add strength, but I don't think i'll do that again. There are two sizes -- 1/8" for some nibs, and 3mm for others. This is a 1/8th" size.

Just started the wait for one of Renee's creations. Patience is, I'm told, a virtue.

Renee,

 

All these pens are heart achingly beautiful. I greatly appreciate your workmanship and thank you for sharing pictures of these beauties with us.

 

I have a question regarding the Idyll. It seems you have used a standard Pelikan nib unit. Given that these are designed to work with piston mechanisms, have you incorporated that into the Idyll as well?

The pens with Pelikan nibs have to be used as eyedroppers. I don't make piston fillers.

Stunningly gorgeous pens! I'm new to fountain pens and FPN, but I know the kind craftsmanship that I admire. I live just 2-3 hrs north of you and am in Jackson several times a year. Do you have a storefront for viewing and trying some of your pens? Forgive me if I overlooked that info on your website. LOVELY WORK!!

Welcome to Fountain Pens and to FPN!

 

It's cool that you live near here. I don't have a storefront. It's all internet. I don't have enough inventory to even have a shop. I ship my pens out as fast as I make them, then it's on to the next order. I've just recently moved my shop from a spare bedroom into my father's old shop out back.

Thank you for the welcome, Renee!

Most of all CONGRATULATIONS on the tremendous success of your pen-turning business, and best-wishes for long-continued success!! I hope (will plan) to be one of your customers one day!
