Evening pen friends.

As we had some decent weather this week I thought I’d share this pen that I made to try to capture the brief sunny spell.

It’s two different types of acrylic and I’ve added brass accent rings. The nib and pocket clip are gold plated.

I’m really pleased with it and, though it may not be to all tastes, I think it does at least look summery.

Comments welcome!

Cheers
Ash

The colours are stunning!

Can I ask where you get gold plated accessories please? I have been asked to make a pen for a friends 25th Wedding anniversary and he wants silver or platinum for the metal parts.
