I made this Blue Banksia Hybrid pen (blank from George- Robutacion). I had made one earlier, and the person who bought that pen, showed a receptionist at the hospital where I work, and she immediately said she wanted the same one, same colour. So of course I contacted George, and bought all the colours including the blue that he had on offer. Thanks George. Its a Roman Harvest roller ball pen kit (from timberbits.com). Finished with CA. I tried to reduce the props for the picture, but couldn't resist having a burl in there! I used a small lightbox this time, which I bought from ebay for 40 dollars.

Yeah..., thats what I'm talking about, you put a classy kit in a pretty and inexpensive blank (sold for AU$5.50 each, for over 3 years) and its looks a million bucks...!:wink::biggrin:
I have recently purchase some "glow in the dark" powder, for the first time and I did so, to try making some of the new Dwarf Banksia with some of it with the colour, I may try making some with this older style blanks (1/4 pod), they should look quite porsche, huh...??:wink::biggrin:
I have hundreds and hundreds of the most amazing blanks of all sorts, sold to a lot of people, many of them here on IAP and, I never saw most of them put into a pen and shown here or sent to me, as I always request if possible.
Nothing gives more self satisfaction than seeing, the results of my pen blanks making/efforts shown dressed in a nice kit, and done well that my friends, is my reward.
I have been waiting a long time to start seeing some of those older blanks and some of the newer ones too, It seems that I finally I'm starting to see them, thanks to some very dedicated and regular buyers, and I thank you all for that...!
PS: I wonder if, some of those very unique blanks I made/sold in the pass, people think that they are just too nice or unique to use. Camon peoples, they are just pen blanks, that were made to be used so, lets clean their dust and take them for a spin...!:wink::biggrin:
Cheers
