4 New Slimline Pens

[NewfoundlandLaw]

Trying to improve my technique on Slimline style Pens in Acrylic. After a lot of trial and error, I am getting a glass smooth finish.

Here are 4 I made this weekend:

Well done Marc.

Your finish is excellent.

Keep refining your profile to one you prefer. It appears that each pen is "loosing weight..." Getting slimmer and more of a uniform shape. (This is very common).

Enjoy the process and the next 20-30 pens will yield abundant suggestions.

Now to progress to Sierra's, etc... Easier than Slimlines, and allows further progress.

Have FUN!

Thanks for the kind words.

I actually change the profile for the end user of the pen. For me, I leave it thicker and more bulbous. For my Wife, they are thinner all around.

Personally, I like the look of the larger more bulbous slimline.
