Speaking of Pink...
For the past 5 years I have participated in Movember to raise money for Prostate Cancer research and BeyondBlue but this year I have decided to raise money for breast cancer research etc. instead. Time to raise money for the ladies.
I took up pen turning a couple of months ago after getting my first wood lathe and so I thought this could be a good way to raise money. So I have been making Pink pens and selling them at work to raise money. I've used a number of kits like the Princess with Swarovski Crystals, Comfort, Slimline etc. Mainly with Crushed Pink polyresin blanks and one Coffee and Pink Lines from David.
So far I have raised over $200. These are some of the pens I've made. Comments and critiques are welcome.
Cheers,
Fletch.

Worthwhile cause. Thanks for doing and showing us. I like the first pen the best. A personal shape thing.

Thanks everyone for all the positive comments! I'm still turning Pink pens but after this month I might give them a rest for a while.
Cheers,
Fletch.
