PRocess Concept
For me, flowers represent giving and bless. In many festivals, we usually send flowers to people we love and care, like when mothers' day, we send carnations to our mother, and when valentine's day, we deliver roses to our beloved.
Models
Sketches
I try many kinds of frames, and finally I chose the square one because it has more space to put a light in. I hope Blossom can amaze people by the shadows on the wall. In the daytime, it is just a beautiful decoration on the wall, but when users turn it on, there will be many light flowers on the wall.

Sketches
At first, I desperatedly want to do the second one, but it's nearly impossible because the pen is too thin. Therefore, I change my mind to the first sketch.
Blue Print Fountain pens are usually made in metal, and represents status and autority. My concept is to change it to be more feminine, elegant and natural. Winter, Wo oden, Nature, Soft, Knit, and Fre eze are six elements that I use to interpret my concept.

Details
Lace is fabric, so it can easily be stained. To avoid it from being dirty, I first soak lace into deluted white glue to make it harden. Second, I stick transparent sticker on lace to prevent lace from directly contact with polyester, and use polyester to make pen shell more smooth. 5
