Couple new cactus pens

[MesquiteMan]

Here are a couple of new prickly pear cactus pens I completed recently. I still can't seem to get my pics to come out stunning but I guess they are getting better.

This one is clear resin with the tube painted black. It really allows you to see the depth of the cactus skeleton. It is everyone's favorite so far.

This one has gold metal dust mixed in with the resin. It turned out more brown that I hoped but still looks nice in person. If my pictures were better you would be able to see the gold accents that are there.

Thanks for looking!

Folks, I had the opportunity to see these in person and the photos doesn't do them justice. I love the clear one with black tube. If anyone will be making any of these, I highly recommend that you try it. [^]

Ofcourse you have to follow the casting tutorial well...else you may get bubbles and those will create less than appealing effect.

Nice pens Curtis!
