First Casts
This is my first crack at casting.
Shout out to Tony from Perfect Pens & Pencils for all of his help and guidance - thank you mate
Aussie flora stamp decoupage and the other is Japanese Chiyogami (Yuzen) paper I picked up while over in Japan last year.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with how they came out but as always, comments and critiques welcome.
Cheers
Steve

Instead of selling you the pen blanks I should have organised a swap.
They look great.

Thank you all for the kind words - I may have pre-warned the wife to expect make up supplies to arrive in the near future for colour casting
G'day Tony, yes mate all courtesy of the mold... thank you again for that, it has been great fun to play with. I'll have to pop in for some more brass tubes (and a coffee)

Nicely done and now you are hooked. Many aspects to pen turning for sure. Did you have to treat the paper with anything before casting to prevent wrinkles??? What resins are you using??? Thanks for showing.
