    "The Enamelers Pen Premium Edition”

    Hi,

          I have made up a new version of the Enamellers’ Pen. This one is called the "The Enamelers Pen Premium Edition". With exception of the inner ink, and twist mechanism assembly, the "The Enamellers Pen Premium Edition" is 100% made by my wife, and I here at our shop.

    Description: "The Enamelers Pen Premium Edition" Pen Body, Tip, Ink Cartridge Adjustment Wheel and Cap End made from .999 Pure Oxygen Free Copper. High Polished copper.. transparent enamels should look beautiful...

     

     

     

    Thanks for looking.

    I've done a little enameling but have never seen this. I've been on your web site but nothing explains what it does. Is this for dispensing oil to sift into or is there an enamel in the pen??? Billie

     

    edit: Never mind, I went back on your web site and there's an explanation that this is a copper pen that you can enamel. Haven't a clue how I missed the note about what it was the first time I looked.

    Thank you Maria,

    Sorry I’ve not had a chance to check this site for a little while. I’ve been very busy making pens. I'd been working on this Pen idea for about 2 years now. That's how long it took me to gather up all the necessary equipment, and study up on enameling. Now that’s it all finally come together here, I’m very happy with the quality of this product. People in the industry have told me that I’m the only person that’s making a pens just for enamelers??? I think these are great too! I love carrying my enameled pen. Everywhere I go, I get great response’s from people about them. And I’m only a beginner at enameling, so the skies the limit as far as what experienced enamelers will do with these. Woodrow Carpenter the owner Thompson Enamel had some very kind words about them too....so that was very reassuring for me as well.

    I plan to go to California this summer and introduce them at the Enamelist Society Conference. (As long as the current economy here don’t kill me first) This conference is a big deal for enamelers. The to the bulk of the enameling hierarchy from the USA should be attending. Seems like a good place for me show them off, and get some feed back as-well.

    Nice to hear from you, and hope your doing well.

    Derek

    Hi Billie Ann,

    Sorry for the delay in replying. I’ve been totally backed up here, trying to make pens, and take care of my other customers too.

    Thanks for taking the time to check out my web page. I’m sorry the web page is not professionally done. ($$) I have 6 children, so I have my priorities when it comes to where I can throw any bucks I find lying around.

    You say you’ve done a little enameling... me too. I took a enameling class with Mary Chuduk

    last year at the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton Ma. It was a bead enameling class. I wanted to learn how to enamel round, and 3d type objects. I didn’t tell anyone back then, but I’ve had this dream of making the most beautiful pens on earth. I knew all’s I had to do was to make a good quality pen, and then give it to an enameler.

     

    Thanks for checking out my site
