Candy Cane Sorrel hand-painted fountain pen
ZAR8,200.00
Lisa Strachan has chosen a species of sorrel or oxalis, which is often considered a weed, to illustrate just how beautiful common plants can be. This Candy Cane Sorrel (Oxalis versicolor) flowers in winter, keeping its flowers curled up in a tube until about midday each day, and during this time these buds resemble a pink and white striped candy cane. Lisa points out that contrary to being a weed, oxalis are vital parts of our flowering plant system and botanists are putting a lot of work into trying to conserve this genus.
This pen is our Jabulani model. For the grip section Lana chose a glossy black which adds to the dramatic appeal of this pen. It features a hand-made silver cap band and section ring, and our silver logo inside a bronze ring embedded in the cap finial.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is an original work of art. You are more than welcome to contact us with a request for a commissioned fountain pen by Lisa in a unique theme of your own.
