Blue

[Gary Max]

I am starting to get some time to work on pens----yippeeeee.
Here are a couple of Barons that I have really been wanting to make.
I do my own casting-------Prickly Pear Catus---Resin----Blue.
Tubes are painted high gloss black-----kinda reflects the light back.

Looks real nice, Gary. I can see them being a good seller for you.

I like it a lot! It kind of looks like an electric blue with the cactus running through it. The cactus also looks a little different than most of the cactus pens that have been posted, giving it a unique look.

That blue has amazing depth. It reminds me of the cobalt waters in the Florida Keys the way it has the lines.

When is was hunting around for pigment I found a bunch of different prices and shades of blue. Just to be different I bought the most expensive one I could afford---$44.00 a lb.
I think it was money well spent. If you think about how many pens you can dye with a lb of pigment the cost was really very small.

Nicely done! I like the depth of the blue--very different!

Looks like lightning. Great job and colour combination.

That's just plain beautiful.

Those look great! Makes me think of electricity.

Nice castings and resulting pens. Is the blue pigment a liquid or solid?

 

[Gary Max]

Bruce the pigment is Liquid----1 lb is a pint.
Oh don't tell everyone that I bought it from Douglas & Sturgess---item # SP-1019----first thing you know everyone will have this color.
