Stepped outside my comfort zone on this floral design. Never used brown before except in a kaleidscope cane. I love the look!! Its a Mesa pen from Woodturningz.

Thank you for looking!:biggrin:

Toni,
Very nice looking pens. I am somewhat new to turning and always interested in new techniques, methods, etc. I do not know anything about this process so I was wandering if you could sometime give a "how it's done" for those of us that do not know how you do this. I know I would appreciate it. I might be able to get my wife interested in turning if she could do something like this. I already have a lathe for her.

If there is a thread or tutorial on this I can not find it. Thanks in advance.

Toni, looks amazing. I realized more how cool your work is after stopping by Gary's. How do you have the patience to make these canes?

Beautiful work, Toni. Beth is so excited about the cane that we got from you. She's hoping to find some time this weekend to start working with it to see what she can make. I can't get over the beautiful way you blend colors on your canes. Very nice.

Thanks again!

Dan, you can find a tutorial that Toni posted on how to do these in the advanced pen making forum.

Toni, I don't think there is such a thing as "out of my comfort zone" for you and pc pens. The pen is your usual stunning design. I am again humbled by the master.

Another beautiful pen! I'm amazed by the gradients and detailed designs you are able to create with clay.

Every time you post a new pen, I check your etsy site, and they never seem to be available. :frown:

The second anyone says Sculpey my heart skips a beat!! Stay far away from the stuff and anything that doesnt have baking instructions on it

Now if you really want to impress your sweet heart get one of these from Toni, lay it upon a box of chocolates and well after the candy is gone she be thanking you for her chocolate rose pen. Toni another winner, but we expect that from you now.

That one looks SWEET in more ways than one.

The wife has given up chocolate (yeah right, but thats what she says) so I guess this pen would not be an appropiate gift right about now.

Why would anyone in there right mind give up chocolate? my favorite is Hershey's Dark Chocolate...ummmm......or Doves dark chocolate but thats kinda like giving me speed...LOL

Who would have thought of chocolate flowers?

that would be the PR Princess I thought they were just Brown flowers!!
