[Currently available] Taurus hand-crafted, hand-painted fountain pen
R11,000
Taurus is part of the series of Zodiac Signs fountain pens by Hanna Farmer.
This fountain pen was made by us at Stanford Pen Studio, then painted and zendoodled by Hanna. She paints directly on to the pen, which we then coat in a clear resin to protect her artwork. Once the resin has cured we give the fountain its final shape, including making the section material that holds the nib, polish the pen, and buff it. Although we make use of workshop equipment, the number of hours of handwork that goes into each pen (not to mention the hours Hanna puts into her meticulous artwork) is why we say that each pen is hand-crafted. We also make the bronze cap band and bronze section ring, and the logo medallion in the cap finial is made by a talented artisan in Pakistan. The nib is made in Germany, and we give each nib a basic tuning
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art, and no-one else will ever own an identical fountain pen. If you find yourself feeling disappointed that your Zodiac sign pen has already been sold, please make contact via the form on our contact page and we will ask Hanna if she would create a Zodiac pen specifically for you.
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.
