Today's Pens & a thankyou
Well first off a big thankyou to everyone here that contributes their knowledge tips tricks suggestions criticism's etc etc.
I have learnt a massive amount and have been able to take my skills beyond what would have been possible without this wonderful resource.
Today I have done my first WW cast pen and although I can find fault with it, I would not change a bloody thing! I think this one will be a keeper.
The Sierra Stylus is for an Aboriginal Elder who is a long term family friend who wanted a gift for the head of the corporation she works for.
Its not a true representation of the colours (haven't the right ones) but she was delighted at the first casting attempt. It failed as the black was a solid colour and the red & yellow has the swirls in them so I had to add silver to the black on the 2nd go and this is the result. I think she will be very happy with it.
Thanks
Shawn

Mik you are on the money. It is Conkerberry. one of the last bits I have left that are useless without being able to cast them.

Very impressive Shawn, really like it, it is a "busy" pen, no matter which way you look at it, there is variation of grain, colour, and patterns. Good work on the casting you are way ahead of me there! Amos
