Pink Pointe Fountain Pen
Custom clipless pen in Pink Pearl Alumilite.
This was another special order, with the customer stipulating both the color of the material and the pens specifications. She wanted a custom color that would match her ballet Pointe shoes. So I decided to call it the “Pink Pointe” pen.
The is a long and slender clipless pen. The customer also supplied a photo of another pen I was to use for the shape and cap & barrel lengths.
About the material:
This material is an Alumilite acrylic I call Pink Pearl. It was a special order color, so the supplier didn’t really have an official name for it. I decided to name it Pink Pearl because that’s the color I told the supplier that I wanted. And as you can see, the name fits it very well.
As I mentioned at the top of the page, the client wanted a pastel pink to match her Pointe shoes. She sent a photo of the shoes, so I forwarded it to the supplier so he could refer to it while mixing up the color. The client was very pleased with both the pen and the color.
Soft material… Alumilite is a soft acrylic. As a result cutting threads with it can be a challenge. I requested a lot of pearl in the material, so I was concerned whether the abundance of pearl would soften the material that much more. Thankfully they cut perfectly. I included a close up photo of the threads so you can see how they turned out.
