Just playing around...part II

[YoYoSpin]

Stars and Stripes in an EPR casting, with a couple drops of red dye...trying to get a blood in water effect.

BTW, I drew these flag stars and stripes pieces (9 flag sets to a page) using Corel Draw, to perfectly fit around the cigar pen kit's brass tubes...50 stars and 13 stripes.

If anyone would like a copy of this Corel file, let me know and I'll email it to you. If you’d like a hard copy of these flag pieces for your own experimentation, send me an email and we’ll figure out a way to get a set to you.

Ed, I love what you do with Cigar pens! Connie and I have been tossing around things to put on or paint on pen tubes since you posted the crackle pen the other day. We were even talking maybe different color ribbons, ever tried that? Or Monopoly Money? The list could go on and on....lol

 

[YoYoSpin]

How about real money...a dollar bill cast in clear EPR might be very cool. That will be my next project.

 

[Tom McMillan]

WOW, Ed---very sharp and creative---very nice work!!![]

 

[ed4copies]

Ed,

There was a promtional pen that already used the money idea-think it would "cheapen" your results.

 

[penhead]

How about an ounce or so of pure gold...and you could send it to me to test for ya [][]

OK, well, barring that, I would like a copy of your Corel file if you dont mind...

And thats a nice looking pen, too, by the way..![]

Nice look Ed. Do you do all your pens freehand or use some kind of special tooling to get them all looking like that? They are very consistant and nice looking.

 

[jvsank]

Nice looking pen very creative

 

[WoodChucker]

Ed,very nice! And if you can send me that file I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks!

Beautiful job Ed, nicely done.

 

[YoYoSpin]

For those of you who want a copy of the flag Corel file, I'll need your email address.

I have a book that has all kinds of leather brading including round brads. Give you any ideas? I my try it some day.

 

[pastorbill1952]

Excellent workmanship & creativity

 

[swm6500]

Very nice Ed. I like your imagination.

 

[rtjw]

Fantastic job. Neat idea.

 

[Fleabit]

Great job. I think you got the blood in water effect, especially with the stars. I have got to get some resin!

 

[YoYoSpin]

Bruce, yes...all of the work I do is freehand. No jigs or patterns. I haven't kept accurate records, but this should make about pen # 8,000. Bound to figure it out sooner or later.

 

[jdavis]

Very creative. Nice pen.

 

[btboone]

Yup, at #8000 you can probably do them in your sleep![|)]

 

[Old Griz]

Ed, is that printed on standard printer paper or did you use something like photographic paper... also could you give the dimensions of the final printout... I don't use Corel, I use Photoshop and don't know if your file will open on it..
But I would love a copy to find out... tom@myfavoritepen.com...
Thanks

 

[YoYoSpin]

Tom,

Yes, normal paper. I tried thicker paper, but it would not stay stuck to the brass.

I've managed to convert the Corel Draw files to a picture file. Maybe you can cut and past this onto your computer or print a hard copy from here (right click..."save picture as" or "print picture"):

KEWL!!!!

Thanks!

 

[rtgleck]

Great work Ed, came out very nice... Thanks for the pic too, going to have to give it a go.
