    Default pictures on pen tubes

    G'day
    I have been playing around lately with putting pictures on pen tubes . The technique came from a method on the Arizona Silhouette web site but I can't find the link now .It involves printing a picture on to stickon label material then sticking this on the pen tube . The tubes are then placed in a mold and clear resin poured in and the blank turned in the usual way.I am still working on sorting the bugs out of the technique but here are a couple of my first acceptable pens .
    My brother used to make fridge magnets and has a vast library of pictures and has been doing the artwork for me.

    Looking good Ted.
    What sort of sticker material are you using ? I ask because the vinyl sheets that I bought to do this don't seem to print on very well, the colours are all washed out.
