    Default Ten days of pens

    I've managed to get away from the coffee-related stuff and do some pens. Here's my output for the last week and a half.

    The four on the left were just for play while tubes were being glued in the others. The copper Sierra was quickly claimed for my nephew. It's one of John's blanks. I owe you a beer at the least mate. I just wish I could find the first copper on copper I did, it's gone missing in the dark void of space.

    Rest are special orders earning money except for the matching Exec Sierra + silver-gold keyring. It's a present from my wife to her assistant. So while it generates no cash, it usefulness is immeasurable. I decided to mix and match a silver and a gold detachable keyring fittings so it sort of matchs the exec sierra platings and I think they look great together.

    I still have several to go including a princess pen which has a small crack in the lower section because I let it get too hot, so it needs to be done again.

    Which *red* one rumnut ? If you mean the circuit board sierra I think the black kit really sets it off. I had stopped buying these but now think I'll get a few more.

    Thanks Artme. Except for the twin streamlines, the customers all let me choose the blanks and feedback is they are very happy.

    The acrylics all come from GPW. I did plan my own multicolour or painted tube clear casting but when I saw a Crushed Candy pen in another thread a few days ago, I remembered I already had two in the cupboard. Loved it so much I bought some more.
