I just polished this one up today. It is a large (14mm cap threads) Gallatin style fountain pen in a pearly swirl of dark mica blue, light blue and orange, with just a hint of gold here and there. I quite like how it turned out. I tried not to make the resin too over the top sparkly - just wanted it pearly enough to move and dance a bit in the light.
The cap threads are 14mm, #6 JoWo nib. I put a polished steel nib and matching clip on it for the photos. Anybody think a two-tone nib and gold plated clip in the same style would look better? It can always be changed.
As always, happy to answer any questions, take any critiques/suggestions. Thanks for looking.
