cav's uni pink blank

artistwood · Jun 8, 2009

anyone have one of the pink blanks from exotic blanks for breast cancer. my sister-in-law and brother-in-law just had their first baby. i had given her step mom a pen from the last blank i had for a gift. while sitting in the hospital bed, sis-in-law said her mom had died of breast cancer and wanted to know if she could have one to remember her mom. i thought maybe i could make one for her and have someone laser engrave an angel on it in honor of her mom. i'll pay double and all shipping costs' not a super major hurry but dawn is out of them for now. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks much........bear

PM your address and one is on the way

Bear,

That is a great story, and Douglas shows the spirit of the IAP.

Dawn is going to work up a supply of the (SIGH!) pink uni blanks and we are going to make a push to raise a bit of money for breast cancer research.

Those blanks will be available, at least for a while, later today!
(They really do sell fast, but she was up all night trying to replenish her
blank inventory)

If you email her, I suspect she will ship you one.

FWIW

Any pics of these blanks? I've used pink ivory for the same purpose, also I think it is Woodturningz has a blank called bubblegum that is solid pink.

EDIT: Opps, just checked the Woodturningz blank is called cotten candy.

You asked!!

We have 'bubblegum", same page, different color.

Cav's pink is made to be as close as possible to "cancer survivor pink" and all proceeds are donated to cancer research.

No sooner asked..... straight from the exoticblanks.com website

Cav's Uni Pink And Bubblegum.

Both are great looking pink blanks, and I've started letting the ladies have the choice between them with me donating to breast cancer for each sale regardless of which blank they choice. (I've noticed recently that the pink used by the Susan G Komen people isn't uniform, but a darker pink in one part of the ad and lighter in the other.)

OK, do any of you "PhotoShoppers" have the pink uni pix? Feel free to shred what is left of my dignity if it will help sales of the Pink uni blanks! :redface:

Support of breast cancer research is important if you are a woman, or if you know a woman!!

Photoshop?! I was told that was a true photo of your uniform.

(Of course I have some others that I will be blackmailing you with soon!)

What would the price per blank be? I would be happy to contribute to such a worthy cause...and to make some pens for the women in my life.

Cheers.

PR_Princess · Jun 10, 2009

Sorry, William, but

.. you asked!! :biggrin: And it is for a good cause!

The original photoshop was done by our own GerryR.

Thanks, I guess, Dawn and Gerry.

Come on, folks, if I will let them do this to me and my uniform, the least you can do is buy the blanks and support breast cancer awareness and research.

MattDaddy · Jun 10, 2009

And just like that...you're out of stock. Dawn, let me know when you will have more - I'd like a half dozen for sure. Might have to pick up a few other things while I'm shopping. This is a great cause that I am happy to support - and my wife and her friends/family would LOVE a Pink for the Cause pen. Mother in law is a survivor.

MattDaddy · Jun 10, 2009

Never mind- you have plenty. Just ordered a bunch. Thanks again for the support of a great cause.

PR_Princess · Jun 10, 2009

Matt, your wish is my command!:biggrin:
Just updated.... Geeze you type fast!!

I have several pink blanks on hand. One or two are from Ed, the other from another private source. I will be using for gifts to give to breast cancer survivor friends.
However, I would caution against investing too much time or money into making pink pens for sale.
The Komen foundation, and other breast cancer organizations, sell many pink items as fund raisers. And, those items include China made pens that sell quite cheaply. For souvenirs, you simply can't compete.

As in all handmade pens, you CAN buy it cheaper.

Paraphrasing Hallmark, buying the Walmart version shows you care enough to give the very CHEAPEST!!! Yes, I HAVE used this line at shows.

Reminds me of when I threw a red shirt in with my whites once a long time ago.

My wife did that to me once. We went to the laundromat to do do my uniforms. She put some red socks in with my stuff by mistake. The next day I had to stand inspection in dress pinks. It took a long time to live that one down. I kept her and we've been putting up with each others c&%p for 38 years.

I just meant my socks and underwear. They knew better than to expect us to have a white uniform for more than 5 minutes, I don't know how you guys did it.

Your local breast cancer awareness chapter will usually have different fund-raisers. They appreciate donations very much. I've never had a "hand-crafted" donated pen go for less than $50 at any of their auctions. Embellished slimlines, usually.

I've also sold them at my shows. If someone bought one of the pink pens, the check was written to the local chapter.
