Acrylic Pens

Gorgeous Pen Turning Items

Acrylic pens are a great choice for gifts and personal collections for two reasons: acrylic is a good material for smaller projects that require turning techniques; and the materials I use have wonderful colors that give the pens remarkable beauty. Because of these unique qualities, pen turning items can be turned and polished to a beautiful finish.

Acrylic is widely used for projects that require hard plastics, primarily because of the way the substance transmits and reflects light. It is the material of choice for companies that make liquid crystal displays (LCD) and cell phone display screens. Acrylic is extremely resistant wear, making my acrylic pens sturdy and long-lasting.

This great material is also part of corian, another choice for unique and colorful pens. Corian contains acrylic and is very good for shaping and finishing handmade pens. It’s made by blending natural minerals with acrylic polymer. Not only is it beautiful when crafted properly, it is very durable. Pens made of corian and acrylic are sure to be with you for a long time.

I make my pens with the thought that art can also be practical. This is certainly true of pens made with acrylic material. Functional and appealing to the eye, my pens are meant to be seen. Great care is taken to choose the patterns and rich colors of acrylic so they can be complemented by quality accessories.

Give some thought to giving a handmade acrylic pen when the gift needs to be eye-catching and a bit different. Acrylic is a perfect material for cool pens that will delight the younger crowd, in addition to being the perfect choice for the office. The rich colors, such as aqua and rose can be highlighted with gold and silver to make a one-of-a-kind collectible writing instrument.

When you are trying to find the right gift for a close friend, colleague or family member, think acrylic! Select the perfect color and pattern for a seasonal gift--red, green, one of the pastels – and give a quality pen that fits the occasion. A custom, handcrafted pen set might be the perfect choice for a wedding gift. I will work with you to choose colors that are right for the happy couple. Match a beautiful pen made from acrylic with a baby book as a great gift to Mom and Dad.

Acrylic pens . . . versatile, beautiful, and just right for all occasions!
