[Sold] Skyseekers Clan painted fountain pen

R11,000

According to Hanna Farmer, The Skyseekers are like a clan of miners who live underground and in the branches of massive trees. Though they are seldom seen by humans, knowledge of their existence has been handed down in folk lore since the olden days. Unlike the Disneyfied version, these dwarves are not of the cute,  ‘pointy-hat’ variety, but family-loving folk who work hard and play hard. She has shown them mining underground for dinosaur and mammoth fossils (painted in white), and for colourful precious stones. Some are also bathing, pushing a pram, snoozing in hammocks and even smoking a hubbly-bubbly.

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 silver section ring, cap band and a logo medallion in the cap finial, and we have added a custom-made grip section in a chocolate material embedded with gold sparkles.

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.
