A friend of ours, who is going to Disney with us this August, is having a Birthday this month. So I decided that we would give her a pen and pencil set, with Maleficent (One of her favorite Disney characters) as the color scheme. This is a first in SEVERAL areas for me:

1. This is the first time I have done a SET.
2. This is the first time I have done a mechanical pencil.
3. I had to find a presentation box that would fit.
4. ...I have never given any of my work away as a gift.

I chose a basic gold slimline kit (x2) so that it would fit into the case that I found. I did more "hand" work on this because you want the shape to match each other. So I bumped them out so that they weren't "skinny" slim and then mic'd them to get the general diameter for each..

I was pleased with the outcome and so was she.

This is the second half of the blank that I used of the previous pen. While this is still a "Gatsby' Pen, this one has a twist transmission instead of the "Click." I had to work on it some because I really screwed up on the brass tubing; i.e. bent it, MULTIPLE applications of CA glue, etc. With a little TLC this turned out beautiful.
