Hi alc3261,

Thank you very much for offering this PIF.

My answers to the questions are:

1. My favourite colour is green, but blue or red are also very nice colours

2. The reasons why I am bidding for this PIF are because

a. In the past I have seen the beautiful Pen Wraps that you make

b. With my weekend eBay biddings I have run out of space in the present fountain pens carry case and I would like a smaller one for me to carry with me all the time to work, holidays, etc.

Kind regards,

Rui

The favourite colour is brown or green and brown.

There is a Pelikan Hub coming up in Toronto on June 13 and I would like to make the PIF pen wrap a topic of discussion and one lucky person will be given the wrap. So I am wanting a new pen wrap from you temporarily until I can gift it to another pen lover. I picked green and brown thinking of popular Pelikan colours. The choice of fabric is entirely your choice and I know you do wonderful work.


Thanks for entering me in this PIF. Good luck to everyone.

Thank you. I know you are busy. By the way your letter is ready to be mailed. Post Office is closed today but it's so overdue to get mailed. I know I am close to being on probation as a PenPal.

Thanks for the offer, alc3261

1. My favorite color is green!
2. Why I want to win? Because I have exactly four pens, and I like to take them where ever I am wandering. At the moment, my method of transportation is to wrap them all together with a rubber band and throw them into whatever bag I'm carrying. A pen wrap would be much prettier, and keep them better protected. I have seen your wraps and they are gorgeous.

Wow, another offer - I feel I'm being a bit cheeky replying as I've not long been here, but....

1. Quite liking purple/aubergine at the moment - a lovely colour.
2. Quite simply because I don't have one and it would protect my current and future pens while I'm out and about!

1. Red and dark blue

2. I would love to have a new pen wrap, because I would love to have a great fashionable way to transport my pens when I go off on the road. Especially since right now the current storage is a plush make up bag. Besides I think your wraps are lovely too.

My favorite color is Blue!

I would like a pen wrap because I don't have one...LOL I have an old leather type three pen case that I have had for a long time and would love to have something new.


Thanks again

I will throw my hat in the ring, mainly because I do not have a wrap, yours are very well made and I probably won't be able to attempt your pattern/tutorial for awhile.

I like the blue fabrics above.

Double clicking the clock... checking the calendar... If you haven't chosen yet, I'll declare a late interest!

My favourite colour is red, and I'd like a pen wrap because I'm totally at sea with pen storage and protection. I've never found a pen sleeve I really like for daily carry (I'm even put off leather ones - I stick my pinky in and think "too rough for my beauties! And what's in the dye anyway?" My out-of-rotations languish in folds of bubblewrap like some offcast handmedown from the Howard Hughes estate.

Best of luck everyone.

Before I submit my answers I must say I am very impressed by how great your pen wraps look. Whoever wins is quite lucky.

1. My favorite color is navy blue
2. I would like a pen wrap because they're very nice and of course functional. What's better than an attractive functional item? I am definitely always on the look for new ways to keep my pens safe. This seems like an awesome way to accomplish just that.

Cheers
-Rob

LOL Annie. Thank you.

As you can see from the Pay it Forward forum I am already PIF'ing any duplicates.

Maybe I'll be luckier next time around. If I get desperate I'll ask alc3261 if I could please buy one.

I'm really pleased for Flounder but I have an idea and you may not have to wait too long.

And the winner was Jill from Oshawa who writes about the automotive industry. I believe she will forward a note personally. She loved winning this hand made pen wrap at the Toronto Pelikan Hub. 12217. Thank you again from me.

I've received the wrap, and it's exquisite. Photo when the camera stops playing up, it's too nice a warp for the smartphone to do it justice.
