Good evening everyone,
Tonight I wanted to share with you a fountain pen that I've made in 2020, called Musica Viva.
As pen makers I think that we all have a pen that we are a bit proud of, this is one of those for me.
The reason is at that time when I created this one I didn't have a rolling mill yet so I melted some silver and whacked it until it became a flat sheet of silver which I could start to cut out in the pattern that you see before you, with some music notes.
It took me several hours to get the silver flat but I think at the end it was well worth it.
The box was made out 13th century oak wood that was found in a historical excavation in the city Roeselare in Belgium and for the inlay I used sand that I took from a trip to Diani beach in Mombasa, Kenya.
Have a great day ya'll.
Andy.
