Glass Dip Pens

These pens are nuclear! I use a small amount of uranium glass to create spirals inside the glass handles. Under normal light they are pale yellow to clear, but under UV light they really glow green! I only make a few each year as borosilicate uranium glass has been out of production for many years, so I only have a limited supply left
Glass dip pen, the base is white opal glass which I have 'Fumed' 22ct gold onto, creating a unique pattern of pink ripples as the gold directly colours the glass
The main stem is pale blue glass with silver lusters creating the wave like sea effect along the stem
A group of dip pens, with glass jellyfish encased in clear in the handles, with silver luster colour further down the stem
Glass dip pen with pure silver over teal green glass to create the metallic pattern which is then locked into place with a layer of clear
