So here's two more I've finished today. 3 pens in one day, along with re-arranging the whole pantry - must be a record :p

Anyway, the top one is a new technique for me. Let's call that one "Rockmelon on the Rocks" for lack of something more original.

The other is a little darker green than I wanted, but still turnout out OK. Let's call it "Aussie Elegance" as I was going for the green & gold theme.

Been a fun weekend, gotta start getting ready for the real world again now :(

Now if the tube showed through the green would be no problem hehe, interesting colors and the pattern in the first one as well, no problem getting original pens when you make the acrylics yourself. good stuff :) :2tsup:

Now them I like :2tsup:

the real world is a bit of a bummer really

The closest I got to the lathe this weekend was to look at it. Another bummer :doh: If I'd turned it on other things wouldn't have happened and one has to keep SWMBO happy :wink:

Yeah, but luckily we're not in his neck of the woods, so he can LEARN THE LOCAL LINGO!! :rolleyes:

Actually it reminds me of teeth fillings, but I couldn't think of anything catchy aloing those lines, so I gave up :D

ah.. canteloupe .. muskmelon ..

It was just the idea of a melon on the rocks.. reminded me of local kids
smashing pumpkins at Halloween. I like the color, and the pattern is
eye catching.

I have no idea where that 'post whore' smiley came from. I got rid of it.
