I have been trying to do an eye-popping purple pen for a while. I have tried several things with limited success including violet BEB (to light, not attention grabbing), violet acrylic from BB (was as much blue as violet), purple crushed velvet (too dark and hard to see the colors except under bright light). Additionally, each of these can get to be expensive after a while.
I tried something new. This pen is a curly maple blank with a chrome streamline kit. The color comes from a marker picked up at my local art supply for about $3.50. The marker is prismacolor violet PM-50. It has a broad tip and a thin tip. Here is a link to a site that shows many of their colors. http://www.artsuppliesonline.com/catalog.cfm?cata_id=1890
Here is a picture of what the marker looks like (this is a red one, not the violet that I used.)
This is the pen. Tell me what you think. The finish is CA/BLO.
I am going to get some more curly maple and some more markers. Green is my next one.
