Thread: Nakes thanks to Ian

They look pretty spiff Peter, good effort on the casting and great looking pens.

Good to see you are looking after your niece.

They really look great Peter!!!

I like the way the pattern of the skin is showing out!!

Thanks Guys,

The skin really does have a nice pattern.
The colour is a little bit lighter than Ians but that is because I had trouble understanding plain english.
Ian gave me proper instructions but I mucked up, did the colour over 2 blanks where his instructions were for 1 blank.
Next time..

But in the end its just a different colour and someone will want them that way.

Peter

Nice work Peter,

And as has been said in an earlier post I like how you have the pattern of the skin showing within the blank.

Great Work and thanks for sharing
Cheers
Tony.

Looking good mate u have done a top job and I really like those patterns on that shedded skin ;-) just coz u think u mucked up the plain English doesn't mean they still aren't killer pens and I am sure someone will see them and love them

Glad I could help

Ian

Great work Peter, I think the colours and patterns are excellent.

This one is from one of the blanks from the first post.
I wanted to have a play with animated gifs.
Need to do it again in the daytime instead of with a desk lamp and a wobbly tripod.
Seems you actually have to click on the image to see it animated.pen2a.gif

well mate the pens look great, great job on the different colors... one prob... snakes, i don't like them too much at all

i must say though a number of years ago i had a play with making animated GIFs and it was fun,making a little man run around a box and pictures change color not to mention rotating question marks, never thought to use it as a 360 rotating picture of pens. fantastic idea and adaption, you watch, there will be no stopping it now

all the best

Peter, some lovely work in casting and turning, what impressed me is the photo with the pen turning, How did you do that??? Amos
