Forest Ferns painted fountain pen

ZAR7,500.00

Carla Nel’s Forest Ferns is painted in a range of greens, shading from filtered-sunbeam-green to deep-shade-green, and has the feel of a spongy, moss-covered forest floor. Her fern fronds are in her distinctive black pointillism style, with additional ferns in the faintest of white in the background. The grip section is in a glossy black, which adds impact to this classy pen. We have also added a silver cap band, section ring and logo medallion in the cap’s finial.

Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen.

If you would like to request a commission, please let us know as there is a good chance Carla would be happy to paint a pen just for you.

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.
