She wanted pink with bling

[randywa]

It's a home pour on a gold Ultra Cigar. I was trying for a hotter shade of pink. I'll find out next week if she likes it. I may have to try again.

Nice color, but most woman that want to buy pens from me prefer a small diameter.

I had shown her everything I had, from Slims to JJr. Gent IIs. She actually wanted something bigger than a Cigar. She has been a dairy farmer all her life and her hands are pretty good sized. I wouldn't want to arm wrestle with her.

Nice pen. I have sold a good number of cigar pens to older women that have arthritis. The larger barrel is easier for them to hold.

That's nice! I have actually had lady customers who wanted the bigger Majestics, Sceptres and Apollos.

I had a custom request for pink. I asked all of the questions, hot pink, regular pink, light pink, pearl, no pearl, fat, thin, rollerball, ballpoint, fountain, etc. The response I got: Pink, I don't care what it is, just pink.

So that is what she is getting! I just poured the cast last night, I did put pearl in. Deciding on kit - I might just do a slimline for her as she doesn't want to spend much money.

I mixed these blanks one at a time trying to get the color right. I used Kast A Blank resin, with 4 drops white and 2 drops red Cast N Craft pigment. On an earlier try, I used an extra drop of red and it made it darker. Is there a way to get it brighter instead of just lighter or darker?

What exactly do you mean by "brighter". Do you mean more vibrant? Try adding some pearl if so - it may help. As for brighter, I am not sure how to make things brighter other than lighter

I think, on this chart anyway, what I have is Hot Pink and I was aiming for the Deep Pink on the top row. I guess maybe if I had a different color of red.

Just a quick update. I've stumbled on a way to add scent to pens. I added bubble gum scent to this one before I took it to her. She must have liked it, because she ordered 6 more just like it. She said as soon as she saw the pen she was thinking bubble gum and the scent was the best part.

If someone gave me a Steak Scented pen I might be inclined to order another.......

Now that is PINK!. That looks like the pink lady blanks from Craft Supplies? I too am working on something with pink in it, and I've had a deuce of a time finding a really hot pink.

Yes it's "Pink" for sure. Very nice too. I have a request for a pink pen but haven't gotten around to make it yet. Yours looks really great. Thanks for sharing.

I poured 5 blanks before I got this color. I was aiming for a hotter tint but it either looked like a weak red or an embarrassed white. My neighbor calls this Hubba Bubba Baby. It has a nice ring to it :biggrin:.
