Steampunk Octopi zen-doodled fountain pen
ZAR9,000.00
Hanna Farmer at her best! Her imagination has brought forth two steampunk octopi; the one on the barrel has on its head an entire factory generating steam and driving the octopus’s machinery; large, glassy eyes, tentacles that are magnificently decorated yet awesomely strong; with a creature controlling it all in a glass bubble atop a chimney. The one on the cap is equally fantastical … it too has a driver in a spacesuit inside a bubble, articulated tentacles, boilerplate, cogs, wheels, rivets, and a hatch that can clearly withstand tremendous undersea pressure.
Hanna’s colours are superb: a limited range of greys, black and blues against a buff background. What a splendid work of art!
We have added a blue grip section that Lana managed to create in a colour that matches Hanna’s predominant blue perfectly. In addition, this pen has a silver cap band, section ring and logo embedded in the cap finial.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is an original work of art. You are more than welcome to contact us with a request for a commissioned fountain pen by Hanna in a unique theme of your own.

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.
