'nautica' Custom Pen

[drgoretex]

So it's been some time since I posted one, but it's been a crazy busy summer. :blink:

 

Here's one I just finished up today, a special order. I am thinking of calling this one 'Nautica', given the ocean-like blue swirl and the white beach-sand-like cream acrylics. I suppose it may be a little silly and possibly pretentious to give my pens names, but what the heck, makes me feel good.

 

This pen is acrylic, with custom turned nib section which accepts nib such as this Medium nib from Brian at MeisterNibs. Both ends are inlaid with matching blue swirl acrylic.

Very pretty, Ken. "Nautica" isn't such a bad name for a pen -- certainly beats Trixie or LaVerne.

Beautiful pen. Reminds me a lot of the Cali School of design. The cury contuour to the bbl and the dots on cap and butt. Wonderful interpretation of Cali's work. Jim
