And, just like that, it was 2023.
As we begin the new year it does seem like everybody in the UK has some kind of cough or sore throat at the moment, myself included. Of course I have full blown man-flu, displaying much more severe symptoms than those of my wife, who I keep having to remind is lucky to just have a common cold.
Anyway I got dosed up with paracetamol* and lemsip* and braved the workshop. It was a slog but I managed to crank out my first pen of 2023.
It's a hex shaped pen and I've touched on how I do this before so I won't bore you all by repeating myself.
The material is an acrylic I renamed to "Welsh Slate" because I'm Welsh and it looks like slate and Wales has a lot of slate.
It has 13mm triple lead cap threads and the nib is a jowo no6. The accents are sterling silver and black acrylic.
Other than that there isn't much else to say other than I hope your 2023 has got off to a better start than mine.
Cheers
