Celebration pen

[kruzzer]

Here is a couple of pic of a pen I did for one of our local radio celebs. She recently had a baby so I tried to come up with somethig fitting the occasion. This is actually the first one I made and ended up with a slight crack in it. I repaired it with trust ole CA but decided to keep it and make another one for the gift..
It's a Chrome Atlas made from orange asage with 8 ballons made from varying acrylics.
Sorry for the sucky picture quality. Just not a camera person I guess

Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome...

Okay, I gotta ask. How you do the strings?


Great pen.

Have to agree with everyone else!!!

 

[kruzzer]

Thanks again to all...
Mike the strings are just black veneer... Since I drilled the holes for the balloons completely thru the blank I used the scroll saw the cut the line for the string then just glued a piece of black veneer in place.

Really nice work, it turned out nice. If you got poster board paper at your local craft store and curve it backwards against a wall so there are no seems it will make your pics look a lot better. A 22 W x 28 L works out good. 59 cents each. Carl

Thanks Carl,
I'll have to try the poster board, I can use all the help I can get ... Like I said I'm not a camera person
