    Default Home Cast Blanks

    Here is one of my latest home cast blanks. It is on a Sedona Fountain Pen. I used Pearl White and Summit Turquoise suspended in clear resin. Then it is reverse painted Navy Blue. Comments and Critiques are welcome and thanks for looking.

    Thats a great looking pen alright. Reverse painting with the darker blue has given a good effect.

    One of the greatest ways to keep a swirly pour changing....reverse painting! Well done on the fit-n-finish too!

    You pouring vertically also?

    that is what I do. I will get a photo of the set from that pour so everyone can see the difference a little reverse painting can make.
