Had two nights stay at Kaushiung, Taiwan before joining this ship. Bought these Twisbies there for my son, crazy about Twisbies. 



Good day friends. I signed off from the last ship , only to join it's sister ship with a five day vacation and this too is a ship with no internet connection. So keeping in touch wasn't possible. Five days at home and twelve days on board the present ship,I managed to make these six pens. These are made from blanks purchased from a UK site named penkitsdirecct.com. You might notice the clips are better ,these were bought from another UK site. I have used a Kanpur ,India based company's 35 mm nib unit in each pen. The brand is called Kanwrite and are excellent nibs. Hope you like the designs created.

Just a little on my methods. I do not start with a drawing as I feel stifled doing that. Instead I let the workflow take charge of the final shape. That is one reason you may rarely find any two of my pens as identical.  Since my pens go into my own collection, this method is OK for time being. Minor flaws persist in each pen, but by and large are OK pens. Happy with what turned out. Hope you all like these as well. Wait to hear your thoughts.

Dear viewers, I am sorry. Could not maintain contact as I joined a ship with no internet. The two weeks at home before joining this ship and the two months onboard, I made many kitless pens in different designs. 
The photos are shown here. Each of them has minor flaws , good only for my personal collection. Material used is mostly my own cast polyresin blanks along with some ebonite and acrylic purchased blanks. Nib units are Kanwrite, Schmidt and Jowo. The best part is that these pens are well functional! Another good part is that my patience is improving as I can see from the lesser number of breakage breakage​ of blanks.
I hope you would like the designs. Please let us have your comments.
