Feathers, Snakes, Money, Music and Resin

[JohnU]

Ive been working on a few donations for a couple local fundraisers. The first group of 20 went out before I could even grab my camera so this time I made sure to get some pictures.

The first is a Rhodium Jr Gent on one of my Ringneck Pheasant feather blanks. I like the Rhodium with these because I think the little gold accents highlight the feathers without over powering the gold colors.

Next is a Prairie Rattle Snake skin I cast on a Black Ti Jr. Gent. I had some slight discoloration at the end of the lower blank but I hope will make someone a nice pen.

The third pen is one of Bruce's Franklin blanks on a Gold Ti Jr. Gent. Everyone loves $ and it definately catches your eye.

The fourth is one of Jeff Powells music blanks from Exoticblanks on a Rhodium Jr. Gent. This blank has some awesome character. The colors in this blank work great together.

The fifth is a Jonathan Brooks Acid Green Designer blank from Exoticblanks on a Black Ti Jr. Gent. I didnt know what to expect with this one. Unturned it didnt show the character this baby held inside.

The sixth is another Jonathan Brooks blank from Exoticblanks. Its a Vintage Butterscotch reverse painted black on a Chrome Zen. My picture isnt very good and I forgot to wipe my finger prints off but its all about the blank and I couldnt be happier with it. Great work Jonathan!

The next is a blank I got from ElMostro called Red Tide, on a Rhodium Jr. Gent. I love the color contrast in this blank. It's a definate eye catcher.

I apologize for my lack of photography skills. All comments welcome. Thanks

Those are all beautiful pens. I hope the recipients (fundraising organizations and eventual purchasers) appreciate them for the high-end contributions they are.

Those are all pretty nice.

Great donation and hopefully they will bring in the BIG bucks. They should if the people can appreciate handmade craftsmanship.

Those are all beautiful pens, John. The custom finials are really a nice touch. They should pull in some big bucks for the fundraiser.

They are all really nice John! I really like all the additional touches on the cap finials. All have perfect Fit N Finish and all should bring a premium at the fundraiser.

And I just have to say...that Zen is sweet! I hadn't thought of painting one black before. It gave it another dimension. Thanks for sharing it...it gives me some ideas :biggrin:

Thank you, everyone. I appreciate all the comments.

No worries Jeff. The white spot is from my flash and superb photo skills. Lol
The blank is perfect.
