Lisa Strachan has painted one of the most delightful and easy-to-grow garden flowers: Love in a Mist or Nigella. The first time I saw a photo of one of these flowers I immediately fell in love and ordered a packet of seeds online (in the days before such a things was commonly done!), so I can understand why Lisa chose this as the subject for her latest botanic art. She has created a very pale turquoise background, with her flowers in azure with touches of indigo.

Lana has mixed a perfect match to the pale turquoise for the grip section, and Dave has added a silver cap band, section ring and logo medallion embedded in the cap finial. Lisa has signed her work by initialling the barrel finial.

Oops! I see I wrote Love in the Mist rather than Love in a Mist … I really thought this was the correct name for the flower.

Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is an original work of art painted directly on to the fountain pen and sealed in clear resin to protect the artwork. 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.
