Tried something a little different (I think)

[G1Pens]

I'm always experimenting. Thought this one came out pretty good.

I always do my experiments with Sierra style pens since it only requires one piece to cast and turn.

Let me know what you think

I kinda like it. I can see someone at a show standing back holding up there chin, then making a frame with there fingers, then holding up there chin again and saying mmmmm I will take it.
To me it looks like random art. If there is any such a thing.

Thanks Brian.

As I was going for "artsy" I consider your remarks a real compliment. At least I achieved what I was trying for.

Close...not gold leaf though. It a variagate copper leaf.

The tube is covered in Polymer clay, the leaf applied and then baked. It is then cast in clear PR.

On the Sierra its a little tricky because you don't have a lot of thickness to work with so the PC has to be really thin.

Gary I like it. Way to many steps for me. It does give me an idea. Good think I am going to be next door to snobby lobby later today.
