Steam Punk Mickey - My MPG Pen

[mg_dreyer]

I made this pen for the MPG last weekend. Thought I would show it. My first attempt at steam punk with a pressed penny. As a commercial I learned the casting technique at last years MPG - thanks to JohnnyU - don't miss next years. As for the penny I was at DisneyWorld recently and my daughter was collecting pennies so it was a natural. I also know the penny is SteamBoat Willie, but SteamPunk Mickey gets way more looks.

As for the photo I had a friend take the shot (Mike Slaughter).

Comments are welcome.

I love it, and your friend takes a great picture. It looks even better in person. Great work Mark!
