Rainbow Micarta Pride Pen
Rainbow Micarta Pride Pen
Show off your pride with this stylish rainbow pride pen! This pen is made from custom rainbow Micarta, which is a composite material made from layers of construction paper laminated together using epoxy. Inspired by a design by Peter Brown, this pen is my first foray into micarta, and while it's a messy process, I'm very pleased with the result. The pen is a click-style pen, and is very satisfying to write with. The rainbow micarta has been sealed with a protective and durable acrylic coating and hand-polished to a glass-smooth finish.
Unfortunately, the pen does not write in rainbows, but with boring black ink. The ink cartridge is a "Parker" style tube, and compatible refills in a variety of colors are available at most office supply stores.
