[Sold] Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella fountain pen
R11,000
As part of her Grimm’s Fairy Tales series, Hanna Farmer has illustrated the story of Little Red Riding Hood on the cap of this fountain pen, and Cinderella on the barrel.
Little Red Riding Hood shows the red-caped girl carrying a basket of food, on her way to visit her granny, with a large wolf hiding among the trees and another wolf howling to a full moon.
Cinderella has her toiling away while an ugly sister preens, the fairy godmother casting a spell on a pumpkin to turn it into a coach, the castle, the prince kneeling for Cinderella to try on her glass slipper, the clock about to strike midnight, and a rooster about to crow.
This pen was made by us at Stanford Pen Studio, painted and zendoodled by Hanna then coated in a clear resin by ourselves and given its final shape, polished, and buffed. It has a bronze cap band, bronze section ring, copper and bronze logo in the cap finial, and we have added a bluey-turquoise grip section.
This pen can be bought individually or together with others from The Grimm’s Fairy Tales collection. One thing we ought to emphasise is that each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen.
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.
