How about something to do your newspaper crossword puzzle with:wink: Here is one of my blanks that looked very Yin/Yang so it was fittingly put on a Zen kit. I'm VERY happy with how everything came out. I also have to give a huge thank you to Fred (ptownsubbie) for making me a vertical mold that helped make it all happen. Finish is MM to 12000 and PlastX polish. Thanks for looking and for any comments/critiques made.

Very nice looking pen casting, may I ask could you have made the same designs using a Hortz. Mold ? Reason Im asking is I purchase a Hortz. mold from Fred.

Thanks! Yes, this can be done with horizontal molds. I've done many like this before with them. I just find it much easier to use my new vertical mold. I have 5 of Freds molds and they are all great and this is now my favorite. Here's a before picture of the blank before getting down inside it.

Man those swirls are much nicer than in the horizontal mold. I didn't think it would be that much different but I guess I am convinced now.

All I can say is awesome colors and swirls! I am speechless other than that!....

Couldn't have done it without your help Fred. I'll be getting up with you very soon about several more of these molds. They're gonna be my primary molds from now on.

Very nice pen and blank. But as impressive as it is, I also got a kick out of your signature line! :biggrin:

Thanks! That quote was something I came up with when I was around 12yrs old. I've always been a bit of a Smart "A" and loved to annoy my parents back then (and still do today :tongue:). Well long story short my mom had given me what she thought was a very hard chore and I found a way to get it done in about 2mins where she thought it'd take all day and gave her that line when she started getting mad that her plan didn't go as she planned.
