Each TIBALDI DRACO ET PHOENIX pen is a precious limited edition writing instrument. Only 99 sets consisting of a Draco fountain pen and a Phoenix roller ball are available. The Dragon fountain pen is fashioned from black resin while the Phoenix roller ball is made of ivory resin. The ivory and black stress free acrylic is carefully carved by master craftsmen from a single bar of raw material, guaranteeing durability.A diamond patterned finish is found on the pen's trimmings in sterling silver with rose gold plating. This pattern is known as Clou de Paris – an ancient decoration found on fine watches ever since the 18th century. The ratio of the Divine Proportion applies to the height and width of every Clou de Paris engraving found on the pen's trim and barrel. The DRACO ET PHOENIX set of writing instruments is presented in a sumptuous piano-finish-lacquered-wooden-case.
Airbrushed miniatures
Airbrushing is an art of extreme precision. An airbrush is a small, air-operated art tool used to spray paint from a small reservoir mounted on its side. The artist combines the right amounts of paint and air pressure by depressing the trigger on the top of the airbrush, whilst moving the airbrush at varying distances from the surface being painted. Artist Lorena Straffi began working millimetres from the surface, skillfully airbrushing the detail onto the tiny surface of the DRACO ET PHOENIX pens. If the viscosity of the paint is too thick it could congeal at the needle tip and destroy the art work. If it is too thin it could burn through the existing artwork destroying it completely.
