Welcome to Unique Pens & Artwork. I create one-of-a-kind fine art. Handcrafted Pens, Woodturnings, and Woodart. I also play with metal, tile, and stained-glass.

My goal is to take the best fusion of these raw materials and create unique multimedia works of art that make you go 'WOW!'

The journey IS the best part of course. I explore new ideas daily, just ask me 'whats next?'

Thanks for visiting my blog. Michael

New Pens, New Website, New, New New !

NEW PENS:
I continue to make new pens, some are old favorites, some are whole new designs.
I've made 105 pens to date! Dad has #100, a patriotic red, white, and blue Euro-Wave pen in gold titanium. One-of-a-kind.

Orange Osage is a new wood. Bright, like orange rind, sorta. Hard, semi-open grain; it looks good in a Slim-Wave pen with black titanium hardware. New Clicker pen in Manzanita Burl with gold leaf rubbed into every little crevice and then 6 coats of lacquer. Gorgeous! And a new Zen. Segmented blackwood with veneers. Trying some donated rosemary wood. Gnarly pale hardwood ready for turning. I'll get more pictures posted soonest.

WEBSITE WORK:
'Working on a new website with WebPlusx4. Thanks to Mike for the suggestion.
This will be gen2 for UPAA. Looking for better pictures - onsite galleries, and a shopping cart.
I use GoDaddy for my domain and hosting, so far so good.

NEXT:
Abalone, polished stone, polished shell, silver wire, and copper, brass and gold. More segmented designs.
In other words, anything goes, if it looks good.

Stay safe and God bless.
