[Sold] Hello Summer! hand-painted fountain pen
R7,000
Somehow Julia Glas has managed to shrink a huge wall painting of people on the beach down to a miniature painting on a fountain pen. Hello Summer! is the astonishing result. She has taken a unique perspective of people on the beach, viewing them from directly above. It is a delightful way of celebrating the anticipation of summer. There is a person walking a dog on the beach … or rather trying to convince the dog to go in one direction whereas the pooch intends heading the opposite way; people lying under umbrellas with just their legs sticking out; someone floating in the waves; two children with a bucket, spade and beach ball; colourful towels; bright umbrellas; a boogie board, and more!
We have added a blue section to match the blue umbrellas, as well as a silver section ring, cap band and logo medallion in the cap finial.
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, 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.
