They are not decals Jim, it's Japanese paper, Chiyogami is hand screen printed paper. Would you like some?

Les sounds trite but very Oriental display something very special lots of artistry expect to see silk fans all around. They make creations well worth the effort mate.The choice of gold kit rounds out the presentation. You produce in every way magnificent pens.

Peter, how does it join to the tube without showing the joint

Some are fairly easy, but you have to look at the pattern of the paper you want to use and see if you can make cuts to make the join seamless, sometimes it's better to use a different design. If you just make a straight-line cut it will show. I am sure Les will do a tutorial for you, if you ask.

Les, if ever you find the time I would love more detail on how you done the blank for this pen in particular how you do an invisible joint.
