Silver sparkle slimline. Picture is not too good.

Cool looking pen.

Can you elaborate a little on how you made it?

Very interesting. 'Zat what they use on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise?

Mudder, Used very fine glitter and tacky glue. put a little glue on and add some glitter, continue adding glue and glitter until covered with glitter. After drying a few minutes, I started building up a CA finish using thick CA for about 4 or 5 coats. I then sanded smooth with 150 to 400 grit sandpaper. Then MM to 12000 and a couple of coats of Ren Wax. Pen looks much better than the picture.

Thanks for the kind words. Wish I had been able to get a better picture.
