[Sold] The Grinch – hand-painted fountain pen
R11,000
The Grinch, is one of the pens in The Christmas Collection, hand-painted by Hanna Farmer. The Collection is inspired by classic Christmas stories, and although not considered one of the classics, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas was one of our family’s all-time favourite Dr Seuss stories. Hanna has captured The Grinch’s mean-spiritedness on the cap, with his doorway covered in warnings: Beware, Stay Away, and Unwelcome. On top of the snow-covered hill is the sled with all the Christmas presents The Grinch has stolen.
The barrel has The Grinch looking down on Whoville and seeing all its residents having a wonderful Christmas Day, despite there being no gifts. He comes to realise, “Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “does not come from a store, maybe Christmas … perhaps … means a little bit more.”
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 sterling silver roll stop in the shape of a star, individually handmade by Aileen Février, and a ghost green grip section.
This pen can be bought individually or together with others from The Christmas Collection. One thing we ought to emphasise is that each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. 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.
