Finished fountain pen 1

Summer 2010 - Acrylic hand painted barrel in a fountain pen. This is an example of the art as it appears in a finished pen. This is one of the very early samples done to see if it would work. I can't remember what I titled this design but it was one of the several individual patterns that I had completed. It turned out much brighter than the raw barrel that was painted. When the original barrel is encased in acrylic resin it makes whatever color used turn out much lighter. Almost as if under water the colors a amplified.
