Double dipping Brooks blanks

I guess since it seems the identy of the youth pen turners is not going to be a secret, I will show something here.

Angelina back painted both of these the other day, using one blank to make 2 Le Roi. She painted one black, and the other hot pink. Quiet a difference.

That's an amazing difference! Thanks for posting both pics.

I think the one painted black looks a lot more dramatic and interesting. I notice that's the one she entered in the contest. I'm surprised that was her favorite though.

She actually tells people she likes that one better because the different colors in it.

I agree with parklandturner, and your daughter. The one reverse painted blank is a real winner. If you have another one of those blanks, try reverse painting Navy Blue.

Both are super! Super job Angelina!!!!!

Awesome work Angelina! Both are great but the black just jumps out at you.

Love those blanks for that very reason, It is nice to get closer to what you may see in the minds eye.
Nice touch Angelina,

I was looking at the pink back painted on lastnight, and realize it was almost a waste of a blank...... Should have done another dark color.

 

[OOPS]

Oh, I wouldn't say it was a waste of the blank. It is just part of the learning curve. I had no idea that picking the right color when reverse painting was so critical to the sucess of the outcome. I think we all learned a bit on this one.

Thanks for posting.
