Thank you very much!

 

Each more or less well-known modern brand of fountain pens has in its model line a model in honor of its nation or with national motifs. I have been thinking about something like this for a long time, but needed to find real identify of nation which good looks and harmoniously on the body surface. The answer to this question was somewhere in the around, but it didn't catch in my head, and finally the most obvious thing was found by me - is our native Vyshyvanka (embroidery) ornaments. Then it took some more time to reproduce some of the patterns in a format suitable for put on cover. So let's look at this first prototype)).

That is an amazingly detailed work. I'd rate it as a piece of art, au pair with anything one can find from top luxury brands (barring the unnecessary glitter may of those brands add to raise prices).

@txomsy Thanks a lot, but you overrated me))

[txomsy]

I doubt it. I would bet that the work in your pens is hand made, which as opposed to factory made and computer designed is an outstanding accomplishment. I must say, i do feel reverence for your work.

[Andrew_L]

Thank you so much! Yes, I do most of this by hand using lathe or other equipment, but I also know how to use PC (Photoshop. Illustrator, 3D Maya and etc ..) :))

Visual comparison of finish color SEM 1920 Black (Tribute Visio above) and SEM Classic Black (Tribute below) ebonite. I slightly increased the brightness of the picture so that the difference in colors was more obvious.

I have that postcard!!!

 

Andrew, this is a beautiful pen. I just popped over to your website and see some of the work you have done in July- I'm hoping there are more postcards in the works as well.

 

Very impressive.

Pity.  Perhaps in the future...  I was admiring your latest inkarelles.

[Andrew_L]

Thank you. If I have enough strength and imagination to make up to 15 inkquarelles, maybe then I will print new postcards))

Hi community! One of my customers turned to me with the question, “can I make a section for my nicely Pilot Falcon body to the Bock 250 nib unit?”. I refused at first because the Falcon nib is small, so the section is thin, and as a result, the walls of the section will be thin and fragile, and it may happen that nothing will come of it. And then inspiration came to me and I decided to make experiments. So after spending 3 days I did find the necessary acceptable shape design when everything works fine. And because the section shape reminds me about vintage fountain pen from the beginning of the last century, I decided to call this model as “Classic”. And because, in addition, there is still as option when the body will compatible to Pilot Falcon section at the same time, then I decided to add to name suffix Duo)). So,
