I sent an order to exotics. I could not part with these tubes!! It was a new design I had come up with Green roses with Blue flowers and green flowers and orange butterflies. I know I know...more flowers but the pattern stopped me in my tracks and I couldnt part with them. I hope you like it as much as I do. Millefiori tubes are on a Venus, loving this kit!! Really sets off the design, IMO. Feedback always welcome, even if its...ewww flowers!!:eek:

Toni,
You're blanks are always a pleasure to look at. I am amazed at the designs you are able to put into them. If only I wasn't so chicken to try working with one.....

I can understand you not wanting to part with those beauties. :):) BUT...business is business. Send 'em to me and I will pay what-ever price you want! I have high limits on my credit cards!:biggrin::eek:
Seriously...BEAUTIFUL, as usual, but these are surely the cream of the crop. Love your work.:good::good:

Beautiful tubes. I've always enjoyed your ability to make the flowers so lifelike and I know that there are folks out there that would be honored to have a pen with your tubes on prominent display.

A big reason to stop over at the Exotic Blanks site is to see what you've recently created.

I see your notes to others - I've just got to break down and try your tubes.

It's the butterflies that impress me the most... symmetric only on one axis, so you can't push/pull too much without distorting their look. The feathered wing edges, etc. All very impressive, and well beyond my perceived skill level.

Beautiful, as always, Toni.

I think the groups of tiny little white flowers with yellow centers really add to the depth of the pen.
