Soooo, in light of Marshall anodising his first pen (which looks fantastic by the way) i thought i would raise the bar a notch with this :tongue:
ok, ok its not a pen as it stands. I wanted to get my method correct and it took quite a bit of experimenting to get three different dyes onto one anodised layer, but im happy with the process - and il move on to applying this method to a finished aluminium pen.
I intend of making a jr gent in this style, and once i do this il release a video on how its done step by step
you can see the blacks surface finish is not great - complete with chip in the layer. It was not the intention of this experiment to get a nice smooth black finish - it was to suss these butterflies :biggrin:
