[Sold] Snow Flurry hand-painted fountain pen
This is Lana le Roux’s first painted fountain pen and what a debut she has made! Lana dried tiny leaves and used them to press these exquisite patterns into paint, then layered the colours with semi-translucent paints, adding more leaf impressions, and gradually building up an extraordinary pattern. It is lifelike and also has a tremendous feeling of movement, hence the choice of name: Snow Flurry.
For those who do not know Lana, she is the über-organised Office Manager at Stanford Pen Studio, she is an extremely talented artist and is the person who creates section material to complement our pens perfectly. (She is also a professional chef, and happens to be the sister of another artist who paints our fountain pens, Zelna le Roux. How talented can a single person be?!? And how lucky we are to have her on the Stanford Pen Studio team.)
We love this Snow Flurry and hope that Lana will find time to paint many, many more fountain pens.
The pen body is by Stanford Pen Studio. Lana mixed the midnight-teal to match her pen exactly and it we added a bronze section ring and cap band.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen.

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.
