    Deco Re-Makes

    The blue fountain pen I made a few weeks ago sold a few hours after I posted it (we love it when THAT happens!), so I made a run of five. Doing several at a time cuts the time so dramatically - nearly in half. These went to posts this morning. Two are spoken for already. (The thought of...

    D Trump

    One day in the future, Donald Trump has a heart-attack and dies. He immediately goes to Hell, where the devil is waiting for him. "I don't know what to do here" says the devil. "You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to...

    A lot of work just to keep the mutt in !

    Well sort of true but I've been wanting to make a set of gates for some time and as I work with the door open and the dog likes to see what's going on in the world I have until now needed to tie her up. I made these just from softwood ( ex 9" x 3" ) I've had for a very long time so when they...

    Custom Fountain - Prototype for a New Model

    I am hoping to make this pen as a "basic standard model" in the upcoming months. In this instance, the turnings (body, cap and finial) are acrylic with an ebonite section, Bock #5 nib and bronze pocket clip. This was my first clip in bronze - sort of fun stuff. I have twelve of these lined up...

    Custom Fountain - DiamondCast

    A new six-color brown DiamondCast blank made it into my last package from Tim McKenzie. As usual, the amazing sparkle is almost completely lost in my photos, but holding it in bright natural light takes one's breath away This fountain pen features a gold #5 Bock nib and gold pocket clip (from...

The red pen is Evelyn’s & the black one is for Blind Veterans UK which is to be raffled at a special event to maximise the proceeds. THANK YOU SO MUCH Brad it is very much...

    All in Black and White

    Spent a bit of time today constructing some polymer clay blanks. Not made any of them in the past couple of years, but nice to spend some time doing these and am reasonably pleased with the outcomes. Not sure yet whether I'll just turn, sand and CA them or to clean them up and resin coat them...
