Just for Mum

Put this slimline together for my 81 year old Mum ... she loved it ... but I suppose she is a little one-eyed ... I am having a bit of trouble with heat when I cast, could it be the temp. up here in the tropics?

Shape of the pen looks nice. You should try more light so we can see the casting. Is the gold added in or is it cast in?

 

[WoodChucker]

Not hard to see why she loved it, beautiful pen!

Nice pen and job on the casting

Yup, that's a real beauty! Did you buy the clip commecrially, or have it laser engraved? Is the inside two different types of ribbon?

Very pretty pen! Two of my favorite colors purple and gold!
What do you mean having trouble with the heat? The resin does heat up while curing. This is normal. What problem is it causing?

That is a good looking pen CJ.

Awesome pen. I took the liberty of setting kicking the brightness and balance up a bit. I hope you don't mind... Now you can see the great clip too!

That is an amazing difference in picture quality James, great looking pen CJ.[]

Thanks fellas,... Fangar, great job on the pic, it was taken in a hurry and I didn't check it before the pen left, the clips are available in stores,and there are two ribbons under the resin Jim. I am getting some small cracks in the casts which I suspect are caused by heat in the curing process.

Beautiful work!

Huh! Hadn't seen the national clips before; very cool! I was wondering if you had gotten it laser engraved - I've heard mixed reviews/results with respect to engraving the clips.
