acrylic idea

[workinforwood]

Here's a possible pen idea for people that make their own acrylics. My daughter and I were just looking at a pumkin stem from a pumpkin that rotted away in the garden. When the stem is dry it is very porous and fiberous. If the stem was a bit longer, it could be stabilized. It was pretty interesting on the inside. Just a thought to maybe keep in mind down the road for pumpkin season.

Could you post a picture so we all can see the example fiberous material? BTW, thanks for the idea!

I found the remains in the garden for you, so here it is. Perhaps not the greatest photo, but gives you some idea. You'd want to cut the stem longer than this off the pumpkin of course, this one is only about 3 inches long.

Might look good, there is one way to find out[]
