Fall Mushrooms … and a Snail fountain pen
ZAR9,800.00
In celebration of the fall, Hanna Farmer has painted this delightful scene of marvellous fungi, magical mushrooms, toadstools, porcinis, boletes, champignons and parasols … And a snail. Her shrooms are in bright fall colors of neon orange, burnt orange, persimmon, carrot and tangerine, amidst luxuriant undergrowth in sage greens and occasional bursts of vermilion flowers … And though the snail is in plain view, it is a master of the art of camouflage.
The pen was made by us at Stanford Pen Studio, painted and doodled by Hanna then coated in a clear resin by ourselves and given its final shape, polished, and buffed. It has a bronze section ring, cap band, and bronze logo medallion in the cap finial. Lana has mixed a special pumpkin orange material for the section, which matches some of the highlights in the artwork.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. If you have seen a pen painted by Hanna that has been sold, you are more than welcome to contact us with a request for a pen on a similar theme, or to request a custom pen in a unique theme of your own.
Nib:
Available in Jowo #6 in polished steel. Please select Fine, Medium or Broad at the check-out. If you are willing to have Di try her hand at grinding a “Skinny Architect” (which starts off as a broad nib, and is modded so that it is skinny on the downstroke with a slightly thicker line variation on the cross stroke, yet smooth enough for day-to-day writing), then please select this during checkout.
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.
