I’m back today with a commissioned pen, my first from Kseniia Nel<\/a>. When Stanford Pen Studio (SPS) posted her snake pen<\/a>, I almost bought it, but it wasn’t exactly what I wanted. After a bit of thought, it occurred to me that the style would be perfect for Egyptian-style cat statues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gilded Snake pen image<\/a> is from SPS’ Instagram, the cats are the images I sent to them as part of my commission, found on Google. Click to view larger.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What I was expecting was basically the same idea, but with cats, and probably something cat related instead of the flowers. But, what I got was so much MORE! Kseniia really knocked out of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

360\u00b0 View<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As usual, I’m starting you off with the 360\u00b0 views, both video and photo. Unfortunately, photos, and even video, just don’t do this pen justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know how Kseniia managed to keep the shimmer off of the black areas. But, since she did, the stark black against the gold is simply marvelous. I really can’t adequately convey the beauty of the varying contrasts on this pen. It’s mesmerizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
