I was on a streak once, & made a bunch of pen holders as gifts, from my scrap box.

A simple, but fun project.

This is one that I made for Barb, with her name in bronze , like a trophy.

After all she is my trophy wife.<;O)

I don’t remember, but when you’re buying something for your sweety, you don’t ask. ;)

I don’t think it was much though.

Thanks to all!

Hi Dick;

Somehow I don’t think you’re supposed to refer to them as trophy wives, in spite of the fact it’s true.. lol

Degrading and all that.

Nice job on the pen holder.

Lee

Very nice and simple pen holder. The engraved name plate has added personal touch to it.

Thank you Sharad!

A niece of mine just told me, she still has the one I made her, & she keeps it on her office desk.

I forgot that I’d gave her one, & Thought back to when I made these.

It seems like only yesterday, but would you believe, ”1984.”

That’s why I started signing, & dating my work, because its fun looking back at the past.
