Latest Dichroic collaboration

[skiprat]

You may remember when Ed posted a Sierra with Dawn's ( PR Princess )Dichroic glass pen.

Well I just had a go, and this stuff is wild!!!!! Each strip of glass changes colour just by changing the angle by a fraction.
This of course is also Dawn's and also was a Sierra tube.
But I didn't have a Sierra kit so I had to morph it to fit an old Filligree pen. So, apologies for the weird shape[:I]No photo's can do these colours justice. Thanks Dawn for the oppertunity to try this.[:X]

I guess thats one of those that you have to see in person to really appreciate. Unlike some of mine that look better the further away you are.[B)]

Amazing!! I forget from the original pen, is the PR over the glass? or is that a trade secret?? [] In which case I know. You could tell me, but then you would have to kill me. [][][]

No matter what the answer-

You did another AMAZING job!!!

 

[papaturner]

I also make Dichroic glass Cabochons for jewelry , and my wife has been bugging me since I started turning pens, to make a Dichroic glass pen, But I'll be darned if I can figure out how to fuse the glass to the tubes.
am I correct in guessing that the glass is sliced thin from 1/18th Dichroic sheet and glued to the tube, then PR cast?? Now you folks have confusede me beyond hope, that is a seriously nice pen, I hope my SWMBO doesn't see this,[][][:0]

 

[Radman]

Pretty awesome. Wish I could see it in person! Actually the odd shape adds the appeal in my eyes.

[txbatons]

Very nice, but I'm not sure I believe you about the color changing, so feel free to send it to me so I can see for myself! []

Skippy this is why you are in PMG (IMHO) your creativity goes just one step beyond. It is not because of the glass but because you made do with the materials at hand and made a great looking pen. Very classy and I like the shape.
