    Default M3 style blanks

    Have been playing around with trying to get an M3 style blank, this is my first attempt

    Kit is Black Chrome Cigar (pen went to my TPS pen swap partner HarveyB)




    ..........and this is my second attempt.

    Kit is Platinum Cigar (pen went to my 2009 Australia Day Pen Swap partner - Chriselle)

    Think I prefer the second but they are both absolutely superb

    are you going to try the other metals?

    Err, I must have missed the memo somewhere. What's an M3 blank?

    Platinum one looks OK, Black Chrome doesn't appeal to me that much.

    I've done a couple aluminium flake resins so far, haven't really been that enthused with them, so I've sort of given up on that line of experimentation for now.

    Who am I to resist a request from Pauline?

    Here are some references to M3 that will explain what I am trying to do.

    Oh that's right, I had seen them before a long time ago, just forgot. I could do something similar with the gold powder I have I suppose, just not sure how attractive it'd look.
