I thought I might as well post this pen that I made last week. I used to make loads of cellulose acetate pens (and celluloid occasionally) but I tend to make more acrylic pens at the moment.

I’m also going through an orange phase at, so I’m adding it to everything 😊.

Anyway here it is. It’s in my new model shape (I call it the Rascal) and it’s proving very popular. It’s shorter and wider with tapers on both ends of the cap and barrel. I’ve been using the prototype I made for a few weeks now and I must admit it’s really comfortable.

Jowo nib, which I engrave with my logo, and screw-in converter. Clip from Beaufort Ink.

Cheers

Cracking color combination Ash.
That Blue is so deep. Awesome material and I like the Orange that sets it of perfectly.

Now that's unexpected...."orange phase" it's blue... :chuckle:

Now I have gotten over the colour, the orange accents suit that extremely well, as Alan said, it's not a combination most would think off, but does work well....

Ok I'll break the mould - I have seen orange and blue combo's and I love them anyway, but as always your pens take the combo to a new level - great work as always!

We're do you get the screw in converters. Do you have to cut a thread for them to screw into as opposed to a push fit.
