been playing around with drawing pictures on Aluminum Tape

3 pens created so far, and the blue blank in the middle is tubed for a Dayacom Jnr Component Set (Guess what i don't have)

the last 2 picks show todays drawing/embossing and i have incorporated a water slide decal for the eye which in my opinion is much better than my poor attempt at painting

C&C Welcome
Thanks for looking

Lookin good MIK. I think the decal eyes have real potential there.

Interesting work MIK!!:2tsup:

I have ambivalent feelings about them. I really like the scale pattern and the flat sheets look really good but for me the blank doesn't quite work.

I think if you could somehow get a three dimensional effect with the eye it would look just the bees knees.

Keep experimenting!!!

thanks for the feedback everyone
here is the next one
i have reduced the size of the eye in order to rotate the blank and see more of the eye
let me know what you think in comparison

Nicely done.
Like the scales too.
The pupil opening could be just a little wider on this last one.
