Hey Dawn, they are looking really good. I think you're off to a very good start.

You play nice. I like them.

Very nice! Do you just drag some mixed up different colored PR through the color that is already in the mold? Maybe a syringe and needle filled with a different color.[?]

 

[LostintheWoods]

Really nice for your first effort! Guess I'll get around to trying that someday!

nice work Dawn ... What did you use for molds ?? I have used almost everything that I can think of ... depending on diameter, I have settled on a few different things ... copper pipe; ice tubes; Gladware sandwich boxes; homemade molds for anything unusual.

Wet Micromesh and plastic polish are wonderful things, no??

The stripes is from a tutorial on penturnersguild.com

For the top pen, I poured the yellow to fill the bottom of the mold, then poured the blue at one end and then used a pop sicle stick thru it to make the swrils.
The 2nd pen is a combination of the first and last 2 pens.

I used soap molds for these, but I also use the ice tubes.
