[Sold] Dancing in the Deep – fountain pen
ZAR6,000.00
This is Carla Nel’s first pen for Stanford Pen Studio. We love how she has captured undersea life in such an unusual way. Another artist might have portrayed the tentacles as menacing, but in Carla’s painting they are graceful and lithe … an octopus dancing! And her colours … subtle, watercolour effects with aquamarine, cerulean, teal and turquoise. And her playful fishes are delightful.
This pen was made by us at Stanford Pen Studio, drawn and painted by Carla Nel, then coated in a clear resin by ourselves and given its final shape, polish, and buffing. It has a bronze cap band and logo medallion in the finial, and a bluey-turquoise grip section.
One thing we must emphasise is that each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen.
Nib:
Available in Jowo #6 in polished steel. Please select Fine, Medium or Broad at the check-out.
The Jabulani model
SPECIFICATIONS
This is a gently curvaceous model, with a girth of 16 mm (0,6”), narrowing to a 10,7 mm (0,4”) grip section. The relatively large size of the model is to allow the artist sufficient space for their artwork, and the artwork is encased in a layer of clear resin to protect it from getting damaged during day-to-day use. Our logo medallion is embedded in the cap finial which is ever-so-slightly rounded, and the barrel finial is ever-so-slightly conical. The cap is a flush-fit and does not post. The Jabulani model usually comes with a hand-made, cap band and section ring in either Argentium silver or bronze, though this may differ depending on what best suits the artwork. Custom hand-crafted roll stops can be added.
