Ed, there all nice,but the top one and the bottom ones are by far my favorites!

 

[rtjw]

I agree with RT

 

[DCBluesman]

EPR#8 is my favorite. Great coloring. Extreme shape well balanced with the beads. They're all gorgeous.

Good looking pens Ed. I really like the way your resins are coming out.

All are nice looking pens, Ed. I like the Blue and Gold the best tho'.

 

[Gregory Huey]

Very nice bead work and great looking pens. That is some of the redest pink ivory I have ever seen.

 

[Gary]

Beautiful work, Ed...as usual.

 

[PenWorks]

Great looking pens Ed, better looking castings, great colors & patterns.
Still don't like your names....LOL

 

[YoYoSpin]

I think Lou had it right...EPR may be the way to go on the names.

 

[badwin]

Very nice bead work. All your pens are awesome.

Great looking pens. I like the gold for color, pink ivory for balance.

I like your colors, Ed. And the pens are very nicely done. Are you using polyester resin? Dyes for PR? Luster Powder(filler)...I have tried some colors(dyes for PR) but not happy with my results. maybe I need more luster powder. Don't like acrylic paint pigment as a colorant (which is what I used first). Thanks for sharing....when is the article going to be published ;-)

Excellent! VERY nice!
I can't pick a favorite, and you can't make me! I like'm all!!

 

[JimGo]

Man, you have a great touch Ed, well done! Where is the brass in the EPR#9 pic?

 

[tipusnr]

Very consistent beadwork, almost machinelike, I'm impressed!

 

[YoYoSpin]

Don,

Yes, these are Polyester Resins; and I'm following Jay Pickens' process pretty much as written. The only exceptions are, in some cases I'm mixing in other Douglas & Sturgess "Powdered Pigments†like the "Duochrome BG" (EPR#10) and the "Luster Pigment" called "Supersparkle" (EPR#8). Between the powder pigments and these concentrated liquid dies, there are literally thousands of color and texture combinations that you can come up with. I’m very happy with the process that Jay’s documented...having a ball experimenting with all these variables.

Here's a link to Jay's write-up: http://www.penturners.org/content/PR_Instructions.pdf

Thanks Ed,
i have just received some dye from Douglas and Sturgess and the supersparkle luster powder. I also am following Jay's insturctions so maybe my next castings with the "authentic" dyes and colors will be more to my liking. Thanks for the help.
Do a good turn daily!

Extra nice bead work. Like the last on as far as color.

 

[Fleabit]

Excellently done on all of the pens! The resins are turning out better and better (though the first ones where good too). Great set of pens.

 

[rtgleck]

Wow... Those are some fine lookng pens, resin and very nice job on the bead work.

 

[AdamB]

even though I have never been a fan of beads on a pen.... Those are well done, and attractive.
