    Should've been two....

    Ok so firstly wasn't sure which forum to post on as blanks were Olivewood Hybrid! Secondly there should have been two pens - the first is a moon twist, in midnight blue, it sparks and glitters in real life too: The second would have been a headwind but this happened :rolling: Regards Padster

    Zen pen

    Hi all a real mix up on this.....the blank was made by real card expert Patterson Grant with wire and armour plates by my friend Mik Lawrence....I thought black would be too dark in totality so softened it with a chrome nib and cap,(2 kits...strange I have another kit like this too now)....:rolling:
