Enjoyed the day !!

Yes a mix of some of my other castings of various sizes and shapes cut to size, colour selected and then cast in carbon black Pearl-Ex
I hope they come out as good when turned, I was thinking the same very planet/spacey looking.

Cheers
Tony.

nice pen mate

i reckon the blue and white casts will have the ladies melting

BUT those bitsa casts should come up pretty spectacular, great way to use up all those cut offs

thanks for showing

Turned a couple of my castings from the weekend tonight, just to see how they were going to look Should look nice when polished and on a pen.
