Waste not etc etc :)
These three are made from leftover bits of laser cut pen blanks ,this way I got 3 pens from one kit (the crosses) and 2 from the Celtic Heart, by gluing the leftovers to a tube and casting with solid color ,a tiny bit of something got mixed up from the mold,I didn't clean it enough apparently
but overall as proof of concept I was happy enough with the results 
Cheers ~ John
G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

Now that's thinking outside the square. Always good to get some value out of leftovers.

Nice work, makes those laser cut pens a bit more cost effective as well
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

That is a great idea. I hardly throw out anything, because I know down the road I will come up with a use for it.
