Oatmeal Anyone?

[JohnU]

This pen was made for my mother in law who was impressed with the idea after seeing my first attempt below with the oatmeal euro. Its a Gold Ti Jr. Gent I finished today from a poly resin pour I did last month. The finish is LOTS of CA and then plastic polish and wax. The Euro tubes were painted darker than the Jr Gent. I think I like its color better. My attempt was "Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal" which I was inspired at the breakfast table. All comments welcome. Thanks

Now I have to give you credit! Those look very cool! I like the darker one best in my not so humble opinion.

John Looks much better than oatmeal porridge ! Wayne

I like oatmeal......and that is a cool looking pen.

Wow, another one to add to the books. Nice job John.

I like that, very creative. Interesting how the black tubes changed the overall effect.

Anxiously awaiting my 2 moulds (sorry molds!) from gadget so I can start doing this sort of thing.

Have about 4 different things lined up to cast, now make that 5.

Very nice! I like seeing the oatmeal edges as shown with the Jr Gent better than the flakes of the Euro. My opinion anyway. [8D]

Very, very nice. I eat that every morning and would love to buy one of the blanks. Keep up the great work.

I'm eating oatmeal right now - and love your pen! The Jr, Gent is my fave.

Looks great. Try doing the flavored ones and see what coloring it turns the PR.

 

[RONB]

Nicely done.

 

[spitfire]

Those are awesome!

I added a bit of antique gold mica to the pr to add a bit of color but when you turn it thin, you lose most of the tint. I mixed a tan acrylic paint with a bit of satin cream paint on the euro. The jr gent was just satin cream. Thanks all! I have a few extra that I might offer here, but I have to see if these bring any more orders first.

I like the lighter colored oatmeal in the Jr. Gent.

If we did an inventory there is not much in the kitchen we wouldn't find in a pen

John,

I would be interested in a couple.

I actually like the first one better. More creamy looking which complements the white of the oatmeal. I'm not sure why I like it, it's not a particularly attractive grain, but I like it.

 

[Woodlvr]

Very nice work. I like the darker pen also. Send me a couple of those blanks please, (read as begging).[][)]

John, these are both really cool pens! The cigar looks more like Brown sugar and maple. I like the lighter Jr, Gent one better, though. I'd eat the darker one and write with the lighter oatmeal.

Did the Jr Gent blank have more oatmeal? Is that why we're saeeing the edges more?

I'd go for a blank or two. I like mine with CINNAMON.

When I saw the title, I wasn't thinking this couldn't be good..well I was wrong again! Looks great!

That is a cool idea!!

And Jim, you should come over and join us at PNPTA.ORG.

I think I will try casting one tomorrow, along with some dried crape myrtle flowers I have drying on the garage.
thanks for all the great ideas in casting, I am new to casting and have lots of things I want to try with it.
Does anyone know the guy that tried the Rose pedals I would love to see the finished pen
thanks

Fantastic pens, I favour the Euro though as the colour is a little darker, both are excellent![]

I cut both of these pens from the same block. I think the Jr Gent came from the middle of the block as the Euro came from an edge which might make the difference. I dont know?

Thanks for all the the complements. Ive been trying to keep up with all of you here. The bars pretty high, I hope to get half way there.

Eating Oatmeal with Cinnamon nearly every morning, I like the color of the Euro, but the Jr.Gent isn't exactly what one would call "shabby".As a matter of fact I think it looks downright delicious,

You are making me hungry.
That is a great looking pen.
I love the way the oats stand out.
I am inspired to try it myself.
