After looking at Mesquiteman's "Cactus" pens, My mind had been going crazy with "what else" would be good?
I was in a specialty hobby craft store today unlike anything I have ever seen in the US of A and saw some different materials that might and might not work.
1. Natural sponge - Would it look good dyed different colors and cast like the Cactus pens?
2. Beautiful but small iridescent feathers - glued like snakeskin around the tubes and then cast in PR.
3. Saw some Frog skin leather too.
It will be a while before I can try these out but thought I would pass these ideas along and ask you if you had ideas of unusual items to experiment with.
One more note, for those who do not know what a Tokyu Hands is - it is a chain of stores here in Japan that has some of the most unusual hobby craft items you could ever dream of. Similar to but quite different from a Michaels or Hobby Lobby, but much much more variety of hobbies.
