[Sold] Butterflies & Wisteria on Gold Leaf fountain pen
R6,000
Yulia Glas’s second pen, also on a gold leaf background, features fanciful butterflies and wisteria flowers. She mixed a special paint to create the wisteria petals, by adding crushed opals. This gives the flowers a unique shimmer that catches the light beautifully. We love Yulia’s enthusiasm and her instant addiction to painting fountain pens (though this one nearly blinded her, she says, due to the intense reflection of light from the (imitation) gold leaf.) Lana le Roux created a custom sparkly dark lilac/light purple resin for the section material which matches the flowers perfectly.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen, however if you would like to request a custom pen from Yulia that has a similar theme and perhaps one that also uses gold leaf, you are welcome to contact us via the contact form on our website.
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.
