    Default It's a series of "Toobs"!

    No, not the Internet, Resin tubes. My kit supply is low, so I'm saving completed pens for worthwhile blanks. I'll just use up tubes while experimenting.

    A couple of recent tries. The red/white is a work in progress on swirls - still haven;t quite got the white separation issue licked. The Blue/black is not quite ribbons. Not fussed on the colour myself, but I have limited pigments to work with currently.

    I know a lot of people here don't like resin, but honest opinions please, on whether you like the colour/style or not.

    Thanks. Russell.

    I like those two, although would prefer it if the white went all the way through the red one.

    I'm not a fan of acrylics, mainly because everybody buys the commercial blanks and as a consequence their pens are all just "more of the same."

    Handmade castings are a completely different kettle of fish.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Nothing much more than what's been said everywhere here before. You waste a lot of materials getting started, and have plenty of disposable gloves, as there's a lot of sticky mess. Anything specific you'd like to know?
