Happy Friday Pen People!

Crikey it’s a bit grim out there, and I’m not just talking about the weather.

So how about a vivid orange fountain pen to brighten up your day a bit? (I’m afraid it’s all I’ve got to offer).

This is a really lovely blank in acrylic (sorry Alan) and I've added a bit of sterling silver trim and an Argentium silver logo coin. The clip is chrome plated steel. It has a Jowo no 6 ink delivery system (or nib if you prefer).

Wishing you all a great weekend.

Cheers
Ash

Ash, I enjoy looking at all the pens that you post ( even the acrylic ones ) as they are superbly made.
You are a crafsman. The little trims elevate all your pens, so thanks for showing.

As always mate, stunning work... Personally I think the blank looks like a bar of Caramac, lovely accents too... Really well done! :drool: :drool:

I like the lines and trim which work really well from some angles!

I generally like orange but not sure if it’s the flash or angles as it looks washed out in some shots and what I would call flame orange ( and fantastic ) in others ? Beautiful tho and no dis respect as way beyond my pay grade Ash .

Well as always loving your work, although being an orange fan and your description of vivid orange I thought I was going to get "tango'd" ... so I could take a stronger orange colour :winking:

Thank you all.

Yes this pen is brighter in real life. I took these photos outside at around 4:30 and it was just starting to get dark (plus the storm was still around) so it has taken a little of the brightness out of it. It’s definitely quite a bright colour but more like the inside of a satsuma than the outside.

Cheers
Ash
