Collaborative effort for this one, I'm trying to make something worthy of
displaying this pen made by Skiprat.
It's a desk set with a music/Star Trek theme. I finally got a base made,
(after about 10 lbs of resin discarded..) and an ink bottle for the dip pen.
You can't see it well in the photo (or even in person!) but the ink bottle
has crystals in the middle of it. This is supposed to be a 'dilithium chamber'
from the show. PR Princess sent me the crystals along with a certificate
of authenticity. The crystals were used on the show. The piano was made
by my dad many years ago. He used to sell them to some high end music
and jewelry stores, but I guess there isn't much call for them anymore. I
still have two, so this is a good place to put one to use.
I need to re-do the bottle though. I'm hoping the resin will break down in
acetone so I can add some color to the crystals. The bottle is a bit milky
in color and perhaps a bit too tall. I haven't permanently positioned
anything except the clock so that I could make changes.
When it's done, I'll take some decent photos with proper lighting.
Thanks to Skiprat and Dawn for their help in this.
I know I couldn't have done it..
