Cast Flower Petals Pens

[firewhatfire]

I was requested to make a pen with flower petals for a family members funeral. I always make extras due to my lack of success rate on these type of pens. They were cast in Silmar 41 resin and molds from Ptownstubbie. I was quite pleased when I had 3 make it to completion. I used the Mesa Pen for these. C&C welcome and thanks for looking.

This is fantastic and could be taken to a whole new level. If someone is good at flower arranging

Absolutely Magnificent Phil,
They are Glorious Blanks, Ideal for the Sad Occassion.
Your choice of Flowers, Colour and Placement is Outstanding.
As is your selection of Hardware, Fit and Finish.
Again your Concepts and Craftsmanship delivered something Very Special.
Congratulations, my Friend.
Brian.

I am curious as to how long the color will hold.

I have done several over past year or so. Color is only lost during initial casting at least from what I have seen in that time.

Beautiful job Phil.

I have the rose from my lapel when I married my bride that you have me thinking I might have to make her a pen on our upcoming 10th anniversary. Are you wrapping the tube? If so how are you holding the petals to the tube? I need your secret sauce as I only have 1 rose to use for the project.

These have turned into my most ordered pen. I currently have 5 separate orders for pens made like this. Most want 3-4 pens each.

If I ever get time maybe I can do a write up for the library. I am lacking free time these days.
