Thread: Acrylic block

Ed, personally I think it takes away from the pen. Its an interesting looking prop, but maybe thats the trouble.
No doubt, there will be some that like it, as it does add interest.

Edit; just looked again, maybe because its got similar colours to the pen, it blends too much with the pen.
Maybe with a pen of a different colour, it would look better.

The pen does tend to blend with the pen. But gives way to an idea from photography. Have a set up of a blacked out cylinder or PVC pipe would work too. Have a light source inside the cylinder creating an up light. Have a small pane of clear glass with a clear acrylic block for the pen to rest on. Now the fun part. Get different colors of cellophane and create different color filters to give different lighting effects.

Mate love the idea of your prop but like Ironwood said the colours of the pen and prop blend to well maybe a clear one with the cloud effect in it just my opinion ) as for te pen its the first time i have seen it and i take my hat of to you it looks awesome how did you do it )

Ed,

The block yes yes yes, the Pen yes yes yes together conflict.

Beautiful block like an Aquarium. Simply dote on the pen.

kind regards Peter.

Liquid Amber Gold beautiful match in my opinion they go very well together love the block brilliant work.

Well Ed, I can't see either properly. You better send them both to me for a closer inspection ! ....................I 'DO' like them together, they complement each other.

I think it's a great concept, I like it a lot. If the top 2/3 was clear I think it would look even better though to help differentiate the 2 items. In a display cabinet with the LED underneath it would look brilliant. Well done.
Cheers,

Apart yes. Together no.

ED ! it looks really nice but for me I would like to see a similar block if possible but in clear with the forms in a neutral colors ,that way it retains its interest and would suit anything you cared to display cheers ~ John

A bit of conflict going on with the pen and block Ed but what a beautiful stand you have

Ok, will do a little more work on it and see how it turns out...by the way, the block is a bottke stopper blank we just started to carry, it comes in a brown base like this one, a reddish amber color and blue, all have the same basic clear acrylic with the two or three color ribbons...
We sold all nine of them the same day we received them, so I would imagine you will see it advertised on a lot of sites soon...(thats a hint to the forum sponsers!)

Stunning presentation with the lit block Ed but as the others have said, it steals from the pen.
