A couple quick pictures with my iPad.
These are three from my first batch of castings. I turned these Friday evening after work.
The sewing pen is of the casts I showed in mold in the casual forum. I painted the tube red, attached a section of measuring tape, needle threader, a sewing needle with lime green thread. Mounted on a black ti and gold Sierra. The original sewing pen, I gave to my mother, has gained a lot of attention. I might be making a few more of these. :biggrin:
The middle pen, I painted the tube black, cut and mounted pieces of my business card to personalize the pen. The reverse side of the pen has my employer's logo, but I do not have permission to show it on websites that might have unrelated commercial interest. Mounted on a chrome Sierra. Don't think I will be selling this one. :laugh:
The last pen is fabric wrapped around the tube and cast. I painted the tube white, just in case the fabric became a little translucent in the resin. I made similar pens in the past with blanks I bought from Glimmerz-n-more, but they are no longer selling pen blanks. The music pen was ver popular, so I'm glad to see I can make these myself. Mounted on a chrome Sierra.
Each pen is polished to 12000 micro mesh and receives a coat of Plastx Polish.
The iPad will only let me load one pic in the post. I will add a pic of the other sides in the comments.
