I don't mean to be stupid but should be label the blanks we add so other know who added them? I want to make sure that when I use the blank, I give the maker credit.

all the blanks have been labeled. Their just turned so you cant see them. Eric where did you get your labels? I really like them.

Thanks Ernie. I guess I should have read the first post more closely.

4. I'd like for everyone to label their work so those who turn them and decide to post to the forum can give proper "kudos" to the caster.

Can't wait for my turn with the box.

Yes, please. It would be nice to have the maker and the material on each of the blanks.

I looked it over decided I would take two of them. I would have like to take the whole box but figured I will share. Here is what I saw when I got it spilled out.

Phil that is a really nice Mother of Pearl blank you created. Seeing that box of goodies almost makes me want to get into casting. It would probably just be cheaper to by all those blanks though!

Work got in the way of me claiming my stake on the box, #$%^&#*. Maybe next round will be posted at a better time for me.

I only took 2 but managed 3 to replace it them. That Opal looking one has Summit Turqoise, Ultra Violet, Ultra Gold, Mica White Pearl and Macro Pearl in it. I think I need to hire an Octopus to do my pouring.

EBorraga that Black blank was calling my name although I have no idea what kit to put it on. That and the other I chose will go into my home collection when done. It will be 2 firsts for me, first alumilite and first embedded objects. Any tips for working it?

The Alumilite will turn like butter. CA finish for both and you will have some beautiful pens.
