Australia’s diverse flora is the inspiration behind this series of pens featuring hand painted Australian flowers: eucalypt blossoms, wattle and crimson bottlebrush flowers. It is the perfect Australiana gift pen. This Sierra pen can be purchased as a click or in a twist pen mechanism. This pen plants a tree to reforest Australia.
Presented in an eco pen box. A black pen box or an engrave-able timber box can be purchased.
Bottlebrush
The bottlebrush is a stunning native flowering shrub named for its bright red bottlebrush shaped flowers. These unusual flowers attract small parrots such as lorikeets as well as butterflies and bees. Bottlebrush timber is a light to mid brown with slight pink tones, it is a dense, closely-grained wood which polishes well.
The bottlebrush flower is painted on bottlebrush timber.
Wattle
Wattle flowers are like little rays of sunshine perched on branches. The clusters of golden yellow pompom blossoms dazzle and delight. Wattle is the national flower of Australia. Black wattle timber is a native Australian hardwood timber which ranges in colour from light golden-brown to deep-brown sometimes with a reddish tint, often with black or golden streaks. In some areas the Aboriginal People used black wattle timber to make clap sticks.
The wattle flowers are painted on black wattle timber (please note these pictures do not accurately show black wattle timber, it has mid brown tones. This is a sample pen on a different timber).
Eucalyptus
Nothing says iconic Australia like a eucalyptus tree. Gum blossoms come in a kaleidoscope of colours such as yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, lime greens and purples. Eucalyptus timber is commonly used to make didgeridoos, the traditional wind instrument of indigenous Australians. Eucalyptus is a valuable timber, and is highly regarded for pulpwood, honey production, dye making and essential oils. Eucalypts are important koala food.
