Some clear lucite

[angboy]

These pens are from the clear lucite swirl from pipemakers. On the first one I painted the tube white, on the second one I painted the inside of the blank purple. There are some bubbles/minor imperfections, but overall I like them a lot!

Seems that somebody has been busy and uploading some nice pics. Nice display of artistry.

PS.Forgot to compliment you on the very nice photography. Wow, you gotta give me a few pointers here.

Very cool boss! (brown nosing to atone for previous snub)[}][]

I like 'em for real!

Angela, I really like the purple one! I did something similar when I painted the tube and inside of the blank black when turning a piece of the pipe-maker caramel swirl.

Nice work!

Those are great. My vote is definately the white one.

Nice work Angela. Here something to consider on your next one with the clear lucite. Paint the tube instead of the blank and use epoxy to glue in the tube. Mix some ultrafine glitter in the epoxy. The blank will sparkle. I think there's one in my album where I did this.

Nice. I like the shape of the white... The purple is a nice color.

Now that's thinking out of the box. I like the purple one![8D]

[pete00]

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Peter- I'm actually getting better pix NOT using the photo light box I bought! (I should play around with it more and try to master it!)

Joe, I'm glad to see that you're back properly remembering who's the boss! [][] I think I'll forgive this minor misstep, since you corrected it and all (I saw the correction on the what do you do link as well- good job!).

George, the paint is el cheapo from Walmart. They had a bunch of spray paint cans on clearance at mine, the white is called ColorPlace fast dry spray paint, in mauve... (just checking to see if you're paying attention- it's really in plain old white), and the purple is Kilz casual colors satin finish ultra premium with the lilac colored top.

Gerry, thanks for the idea! I need to order more of this clear lucite, I really am liking it a lot and probably only have enough for one pen left. I'm going to try your suggestion!

not one for satin finishes, but that first executive pen makes it happen!
