Blushing Parrot Tulip painted fountain pen
ZAR9,000.00
Yulia Glas has a talent for spotting, and painting, the unusual, the beautiful and the exotic. All three descriptions fit the Blushing Parrot Tulip! A flower so delicate yet so flamboyant, in a most extraordinary combination of colours. She has painted these blooms against a pearlescent white background and the overall effect is elegant … and yes, exotic.
Lana mixed a deep salmon pink colour for the section that matches the pink in the flowers, and Dave added a hand-made silver cap band, section ring and logo medallion embedded in the cap finial. Our jeweller friend Aileen Février made the silver rings by hand, so this fountain pen truly represents wonderful teamwork.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is an original work of art. If you would like to request a custom pen to be painted by Yulia, you are welcome to contact us via the contact form on our website.

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.
