Fun commission just completed: One of my list members heard I was casting silk pens, and emailed: "I'll have a Silkie with a side of Opalescence". I responded playfully that she either wanted an Asian species of fluffy chicken (Asian Gallus gallus domesticus, aka Silkie), or the singular form of a pair of silk "delicates". She opted for a pen:
Cactus Juice vacuum stabilized hand and airbrush-dyed Habotai 8mm silk, hand painted with a little Pearl-Ex interference blue mixed with Cactus Juice prior to parchment paper wrapping, heat cured for 1 hour in the toaster oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit, then cast in Douglas and Sturgess PR using clear PVC pipe mold (and she likes it):
Happy Thursday to all - Bob
(it's more opalescent in "real life")
