My Daughter's a Diva

[Pioneerpens]

My oldest daughter just finished cosmotology school! I thought she would like this, since she really is a Diva! It was a big hit with her and her friends at the school!
I painted the tube a solid pink and glued a scissors charm to the tube then cast in a clear poly resin.
Just thought I would share! Thanks for looking! Comments/criticism always welcome.

VERY cool idea and a very nice pen. I have heard that painted tubes can sometimes react to the PR. Did you use any particular paint?

lol, Thanks Toni!!
Jim i use spray paint from Lowe's~Valspar I think~costs about 3 or 4 bucks, but it covers evenly. I find the biggest thing is letting it cure for a few days, then I spray a clear over the pink(or whatever color) and let that cure for a day or two. then cast it. If you don't let it cure long enough it has a tendency to 'wrinkle' in a spot or two and basically ruining the blank. DAMHIKT!

I made a Diva a couple weeks ago but it didn't look near that nice!

Thanks all- the Divas are fun to do with different 'themes'

I know someone else who would love that pen. :wink:

Very Nicely Done!

I'm amazed that you can get what appears to be "a solid pink cast" using that method. I need to try that sometime.

Thanks for posting it Jennifer!

Thanks Lenny~yes, give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

Simply brilliant! Love the color and really love the scissors. Easy to see why she loved it.

Pretty nice pink color....not over-the-top and not milky either! Nice fit-n-finish too!
