Sponge pen experiment. Still working on it.

[alxe24]

Here are the results so far.
The first one is this coral kind of sponge (for art painting) problem on it is that I color the resin so it does not show the sponge much.
The other 2 are loofa clear cast with painted tubes and holes in blue and (green sold by now)
The next I'll try to dye the sponge red/burgundy and do white background so it should look like the cardiovascular system.
I should try CA over as well. That is a may be.
Any thought are welcome.
Thanks for looking

I like the loofa's. Lots of depth.

 

[CaptG]

Very nice. Reminds me of cactus.

 

[babyblues]

Wow! That looks really cool. It looks like the loofa is jumping out at you.

 

[Husky]

I really like the Panache with the green resin. Very, very, nice pen.

Beautiful pens Alex!! I love the loofa's too!!

 

[schellfarms]

what happens if you cast the loofah in colored resin?

BTW the pens are phenonemal.

Alex, great jobs on the pens, all are beautiful! I did a keychain in loofa but haven't had a chance to do a pen yet.

 

[NavyDiver]

Great job! I like the blue one!

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

I like very much, I will have to try some soon[].

 

[chigdon]

Thank you all for your comments. I will make some more at one point and hopefully they get better.

I think you would not see the loofa all that well. Kind of what happened with the first picture, I colored the resin red (translucent) you can tell there is something there but not too good.

I don't care for the red on, can't see any sponge. The blue on is nice, but I don't like the end where it looks all ruff and ragged. The green one is perfect, with a perfect kit to go with it. I'm no expert either, just telling what I think. I couldn't at this point accomplish any of those. What's the kit on that green pen anyhow? I like the looks of that!

I like the second and third one the best, good work!
