Funeral Flower Pens

[firewhatfire]

A year or so back I did a pen for my Father in Law with flowers from his Mothers funeral. In the last 3 weeks I have been ask to make pens for a couple of other people usinga similar technique. The 1st one is carnation petals and they were almost crunchy dry and the 2nd was from rose petal. I didnt mind those they worked a bit easier.

For anyone who has done anything similar what techniques are you using to palce the petals on the tubes and afterwards are you building up finish or casting?

Comments and Critiques are welcome and thanks for looking.

It is kinda funny how things work out and what kind of pens we end up making. Those who ordered these are very pleased to be giving a gift made from them. As time consuming as they are I am honored to be making them.
