The real Mardi gras closed end Jr Gent.

[Ruby pen turning]

This is what I have come up with for my Mardi Gras blank. It is purple,green and yellow with a touch of gold in it. All colors have a touch opaque added but not enough to drown out the mica sparks. Thanks for looking. Comments welcome. Still would like more feedback on the mirror.

Very nice blank. I like the 1st pic with the mirror. But i cant tell what plating is on the pen from the picture. Maybe if they were a tad less blurry, they would be awesome.

I like the shape and the finish. I have to say I liked the first MG blank little better. Interesting center band. What did you do to it?

 

[Dustygoose]

I think you nailed it!!

Lezze le Bon Temps Rouler!

All I did was take off the black ring and the chrome ring that goes on after the black ring.

Awesome blank ... Lose the mirror

Love the blank and pen... I think I speak for many when I tell you that I am very envious of your photo method that you already do. Definitely lose the mirror!

The pen is awesome and i like the looks of the mirror. It is different than anything so it makes it unique.

Great blank! real nice job on the pen, the mirror I think takes away from then pen
A pen like that can stand on it's own merits and needs no other distraction.

I would leave the mirror to someone that needs a distraction,that pen and blank do not!
please put my vote in the loose the mirror pile

THERE'S Mardi Gras colors. Nice! I vote to ditch the mirror. The work stands on its own very well. The mirror makes the pen and reflection compete for attention. And I have a VERY short attention span.

+1. Being LSU's #1 fan I think I should get it!

Great shape on the closed end and leaving off the two bands gives the pen really nice balance. Overall a super looking pen. Not liking the miror effect so much.

Outstanding

Thanks everyone. It looks like more do not like the mirror, then do like the mirror.
The colors are close to and use similar colors but LSU does not have any green in it.

I like the depth of color in the blank. As for the mirror, is there a way to make it darker? It might look better that way. When the pen is directly on top it is a little distracting. When propped up it looks pretty good.

 

[Ruby pen turning]

It could be made darker by lining the photo box with any color. That would be the color reflected on the mirror.

I really like the pen. Great job.
