[Sold] Cirques de l’Oasis hand-painted fountain pen
The next in Hanna Farmer’s Circus series is Cirque de l’Oasis. Here, a circus that has been travelling by (steampunk) steam train through the desert, has stopped at an oasis, with pyramids and palm trees in the background. The carriages have luggage and tents and even birdcages stacked on top, while animals such as an elephant and a circus pony gallop nearby. (Hanna made it clear that in her circus there are no animals inside cages!) There is a bear riding a bicycle on a bridge; an elephant balancing on a ball while a monkey balances on the elephant’s head, all the while juggling balls in midair. A rabbit is popping up out of a top hat; a trapeze artist is swinging below a hot air balloon, which has a weathervane in the shape of a cock on its top; there is a popcorn wagon and a candy wagon; balloons in the background; hot air balloons …. the detail is mesmerising!
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, section ring, and bronze logo medallion in the cap finial, and we have added a burnt orangey-red section.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art, hence 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.
