Some of Ed's goodies!

I finally have managed to feel like I"m back turning again, and today I took pictures of the first pens I've finished since moving and setting up my new shop. The first one is a pearl silver cigar pen with Ed's zebra material. I purposefully tried to make it not look symetrical on each side, so it doesn't really look like a zebra, but it's interesting:

And then anopther one of the great materials Ed had for sale recently. No idea what this one's called, but it's a very pretty purple:

Excellent, all.

In your first picture there appears to be a bubble in the material, is this an illusuion?

I really like the purple pen.

ang,
I realy like the shape of the body of the Patriot pen, I love stealing these ideas!!
Thanks,
All are really nice...Ed's got some good sh**,uh blanks, eh? I like the first cigar the best.

They both look nice. Good job.

Those look great, Angela![^] I really like the "zebra" cigar and the plating you chose.

Excellent pens. I love the affect of the zebra and love the shape of the Atlas.

Thanks everyone. On the bubble question, if you're referring to right near the tip on the top picture, then that's not a bubble, it's just where the black and white sort of layered with each other. Actually, there's not a bubble anywhere, so if I'm looking in the wrong place, then the same explanation would apply to other places.

I really like how the zebra blank looks with the pearl silver- especially since sometimes it's a hard finish to match. And I was pleased with how different to 2 sides of this same pen came out!

I figured it was an illusion and now that I'm seeing it on a different moniter I can see see that it's some more of the black peeking through.

Only Angela would distort that poor zebra like that!!!

Really cool use of the kit and the blank! It even looks like it could be comfortable for writing.

The second one is Italian celluloid, Angela. Should have noticed the smell of burning rubber as you turned it. Your picture is fantastic!! I can't photo purple worth a darn!!

Nice work on both pens (will be interesting to see what the other half of the zebra looks like????)

Both pens are excellent. The first is my favorite.
