Dragonflies on Holographic Gold Leaf fountain pen
ZAR8,000.00
Astonishing is the only way to describe this work of art by Yulia Glas. She first coated the fountain pen in (imitation) gold leaf. But not just any gold leaf; this is a holographic gold leaf that has whorls that stand out spectacularly when they are in the light, yet become almost imperceptible in a darker room. She then painted the most gloriously patterned dragonflies with wings of emerald, tourmaline, gold and purple spinel, and bodies of malachite, lapis lazuli and gold. And added golden curlicues that accentuate the holographic effect and add an additional touch of discreet elegance.
Lana mixed a perfectly matched greeny-turquoise resin for the grip section and we have added a silver cap band, section ring and log in the cap finial.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. If you would like to request a custom pen from Yulia, you are welcome to contact us via the contact form on our website.

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.
