some pressies for family and friends
Been a while since I posted pics of any pens. Off to the big smoke today and made up some birthday presents for family members and friends to deliver while there. I had some rellies here for Easter and gave a couple of pens to them including a bullet snake skin. Have since had several requests, luckily a brown snake shed in my sisters chook run, her son is one recipient. The blue one is a copy of the master snake caster Ian of the West's work, (Nai84). A long way to go to reach his level but will keep working on it.
The bullets were supposed to be on used .303 shells but ran out of time so kits it is.

the majestic sierra is on a piece of local red mallee burl, I drilled and glued it up while still a tad moist, dehydrated it and filled the cracks with the purple.
