Caught the crap fairy.

[Jjartwood]

Over the years I've heard people say that they were visited by the crap fairy.
So when I saw this brass fairy laying around the Nat'l H.Q ( left over from some tooth fairy boxes I made some time ago) I decided that this is one fairy I'm not going to loose track of!!
I painted the tube and mounted the brass image on it,cast in PR with holographic powder and turned it to a wall st. kit.
I got away from the single tube kits for a while but the new Marksman and Lazerline kits kinda got me back to working with them again,I guess what's old is new again.
C&C Welcome ( I only read the good stuff anyway):biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
Thanks for looking

Wow! That's "fairy" cool!

 

[Russknan]

I LIKE that! BTW, what is holographic powder? Russ

Fantastic looking pen Mark !!! I like the way you did the holographic background. It realy makes the fairy stand out. Do you sleep at night or just dream of new ideas to try when you get up??? Jim S

love the blank, not crazy about the match with the planting on the kit but over all i like it

 

[LagniappeRob]

NICE job! You're always giving me new idea to try... BTW, my ACME Rocket pen still gets complements all the time.

Whoa! That is truly one cool bit of Tinkerbell-ing.

Very cool idea. I'm fairy-ly certain I'm never seen anything like it before. . . . . . . . . . . Sorry, it just came out.

I'm not sure I got the container with a bunch of stuff I purchased from another penmaker,I think it is some type of make up sparkle.
Either way it looks cool but very little is needed.

Nice job on that one.

Very cool!

New old again, newness of old....yup, single tubes are fun and quick. And people seem to like them just as much as anything else I make, although I haven't quite found the time to make a blank like this outstanding example!!

Hey Jim,the background was done with pearlized paint,the holographic was in the resin I did add that glamour glitter over the white to get a little more pop
I did polish the tube before starting to give the paint a little brighter look.

Very Pretty.... but is there a big gap between the nib section & the turned barrel? Certainly looks to be in the pics.
