A few weeks back I got a custom request for a pen. He wanted it to be a Game of Thrones inspired pen. I've never seen the show, but I did some research on it, and this is what I came up with.
Apparently there are different "clans" or "sigels" in the show. This pen is inspired by the "Lannister" sigel, who are rich with gold. Their crest is a lion, and their colors are red and gold.
This pen utilizes a red & gold trustone blank, with the Victorian rollerball kit. I found a local gentleman that has a laser engraver to do a custom engraving into the side of the blank, which I then hand-painted with some metallic gold paint.
Overall, I love how it came out - but am nervous as heck to give it to the client. The cap blank is razor thin against the brass, and one wrong move and it's gonna shatter.
Either way, I hope he loves it!
