First Acrylic Pens
Two pens for today.
Big learning curve as they are the first Acrylic I have turned Some Boo Boo's but I have learnt by them and so should get better as I turn more
The blue one is called Blue / Black, Mount Blanc style and the lighter one Red Opalac Pen 1 kit Both from CWS

Practice time is over, I'll take one in Red and one in Black please.
This calls for a particularly subtle blend of psychology and extreme violence.

Nice pens Sam.
Just a suggestion re the photos. Take them from a bit further away as they are a bit blurry. This is usually because you are closer than the minimum focusing distance for you camera.
