That is neat - a cactus blank. Who is "the inventor of the prickly pear cactus blank"?

Gee, sorry to start an argument. Lou just said thanks to the inventor of the prickly pear cactus blank. I was just curious about who had this great idea. Way to think outside the box Curtis.

I would think that your statement is a little misleading.

If you check in the photo albums you will find 2 photo's from Penworks of pens made from cactus parts and a photo from Woodchucher of a pen made from cactus root that predates your work.

Perhaps you should clarify yourself as the inventor of the prickly pear cactus pen. Or the cast prickly pear cactus pen.

Thanks for the <u>kind</u> comments about the pen. The background is kind of swirled pastel blue and purple with gold highlights...at least that's what the ladies at work told me. The resin is clear such that the depth of the cactus skeleton is observable. And Gerry - Have you been reading my mail? Actually, next comes peach (at the special request of a friend). Pink will have to come later. If I missed answering any questions, send me an email! [8D]

Lou,

What did you use to color the inside of the blank if you would be so kind to share. If you would rather keep it a secret, I completely understand. Oh yeah, great cast prickly pear cactus skeleton pen!

Thanks again for the kind words. Curtis, I have virtually no secrets about any of my pens. The blanks are painted with dollar store (not the trademark name, but one of that variety) acrylic paint.
