I did a hands own demo for the Richmond Penturners last night where everyone got to make their own abalone blank using strips. In leading up to the demo, I made several pens using Blue Paua and Mother of Pearl Strips and playing with various background colors. From left to Right; Blue Paua on a black background,
Four color tube with alternating Blue Paua and MOP Strips, MOP on white, MOP on pink, MOP on teal, MOP on light lime green, and MOP on red. I was disappointed by the MOP on red, I thought the red would pop through but it seems almost purple. It is interesting what you can do with the MOP, I plan on doing another multi-colored one using only the MOP. The basic white MOP and Blue Paua are hard to beat in any event.
