Love the rasberry jam pen
.
That mango came out lighter than I thought it would. I assume it is still young, colour wise, and will darken over time. Mine is still yellow from the Borax, but drying nicely with this wind we have had lately.
If you want some of those nails back to add into a pen, let me know, they are still here some where

Soundman you made up for lost time there. I like the raspberry jam and purple juniper the best. As you said the mango is very blonde. A pinkish/redish tinge would look interesting through the mango.
