Pink Acrylic needed - help
morning
A young lass at work would like a pink pen - fuschia pink (whatever that is?)
She doesn't want swirls etc. Doesn't want glitter either
I've had a look at Addictive, Carrolls, AustWoodcraft and a couple of US sites
Anyone got any ideas please

SM,
Fuschia should be a light subtle pink and without swirls I am not sure you will find what you are after in Australia. There are a few guys on the forums doing their own casting and they might be able to do a custom job for you or you could purchase from the states? Cotton Candy Pink from Carrolls would be closer to your target colour but its got swirls so not going to help you out there.
Good luck with the hunting,
CorbsIt's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Maybe one of the "pink Ivories" in timber would be close,it can vary from pale pink to quite a dark pink , If you do go for an acrylic make sure you paint the tube and inside the drilled hole white, to lighten the color of the acrylic. Good luck in your quest

Hey mate,
I'm up for an experiment. I'll go and do up a casting and post a piccy later today or tomorrow when it's out of the mould, and see if it's kind of like what you're after. Fuschia is a hot pink/purple similar to the colour Kev posted. My biggest problem is I still have limited colours, but am expanding my range this week hopefully.

Ok then... just googled Fuschia and Russell/Kev are correct, it is vivid. I always thought it was a light pink (I am not overly upset I didn't know what colour Fuschia was)
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Mine's in the pot setting. I know you said no glitter, but I had to add a little pearlex red to tone down the pink colour I had. The white has basically overridden that though, except for a subtle highlight in bright light - that's in the unset resin anyway. Mine may be a little off fuschia though.
Now just gotta watch the clock for a few hours, then you can judge for yourself.

Well, here's what came out.
Unfortunately not quite Fuschia, but it is a nice pink. Until I get more pigments, that's the best I can do.
That's my standard single blank size - approx 140mm x 22 x 22. If you're interested let me know, otherwise I'll turn it into my next Streamline

corbs and schaf
thanks - I showed her that blank and she scoffed - said I knew nothing about girls and pink - I agreed (been married 18 years and still don't understand women )
timberbits
not a bad idea - mob around the corner sell all types - might see what they've got.
Woodenink
Amos - thanks. distinct possibility. if all else fails ...
