Turn! Turn! Turn! – Sing-along Songs fountain pen

Hanna Farmer continues her Sing-along Series with this classic, Turn! Turn! Turn!, which became a No.1 hit when it was sung by The Byrds in 1965. The lyrics were written by Pete Seeger in 1959, but most of the lines were written well before that … apart from the chorus (Turn! Turn! Turn!) and the last line, they are taken almost word for word from the Book of Ecclesiastes from the Old Testament. Hanna has interpreted this song by showing the change of seasons, of leaves falling and turning silver and with intriguing patterns in them as they float in the breeze. The full lyrics to the song are:

(Now, if you can read that without getting an earworm*, then you are a better man than I am, Gunga Din!)

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 custom-made section in “green smoke” and an argentium silver section ring, cap band, and logo medallion in the cap finial.

Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is an 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.

*earworm = a catchy song that, once it has started inside your head, you can’t turn it off.
