    Default Copper and Aluminum Slim line

    Another of Rick and Gina's creations, but this time in a slim line pen. A slight deviation from the norm. Hope you like what you see.

    Whats not to like it is beautifull in every way. My first reaction was damn he broke the mold and did not turn straight or skinny and eureka here we have a balanced thing of beauty and form , the colours are superb, scary shape that works for this pen like no other it would have been blasphemy to shape it any other way since it emphasises the very subtle colours and is large in the colour areas that blend in and out and weave their magic for me. Thank you for busting out , like to see more of it my friend, shake the shackles , give it your best shot again and again. Complements to Rick and Gina for that precious unforgettable blank as well. I have been down the Hospital Path again so I am trying to make way at the moment but full of ideas bursting.

    Highest regards my old mate. Peter

    Bd, not usually a fan of the shaped pens but I like that one. How does it feel in the hand? Have banked that one for future reference.
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Peter my friend it gives me joy to know that I make your heart feel good in the breaking free of my normal turning desires. The colour of the blank is superb the copper and aluminum inter mingling with each other. When it comes to acrylics, that scary shape is the one I prefer to make and Corbs it actually feels comfortable to write with. Peter I almost decided to have the copper as the middle part of the pen, but the boldness of it told me more of it had to be seen, so colour dictated the design this time. I will break the shackles once and a while just to show there is the fire still there. I wish you well in recovery my friend and that the hospital path turns to the one leading to your workshop. Always amazed at your ideas and the knowledge I have gained from you.
    Regards,
    Darren
