    Default The Art of Creating a Maki-e Pelikan

    Since we were speaking of crazy high prices in fountain pens in another thread I thought I'd post this 5 minute movie.

    http://www.pelikan.com/pulse/Pulsar/...e-fountain-pen

    Enjoy.

    Well, let's turn this into a real maki-e-porn-fest.

    Be there or be square. Only I can do both!
