Hi everyone, I haven’t been here for a couple of years as I had to stop making pens. However, Over the past couple of weeks I’ve started again, so I thought I’d show you this one made from one of the acrylic blanks from Phil’s shop.

It’s an ergonomic oblique calligraphy penholder, for those of you who can’t quite work it out!

Thank you, yes I can’t turn these, they have to be made and sanded by hand. It is a lot of work!

Hi Melanie - great to see you back in the saddle. That's a fantastic pen to start off the show - you haven't lost your touch it seems. Is that the Stardust multi glitter?

Hi Phil, yes that’s the one. I ordered loads more off you and received them a couple of days ago, so they will be next on the list. Though I do want to start casting my own blanks again too. Just need a final few bits and pieces before I can start doing that.
