Before the holidays I was browsing thru the Christmas section for holiday decorations. I came across these gigantic twisted plastic candy cane decorations, and started thinking - I wonder if I could make a pen out of that. So I bought one to give it a go.
IT WORKED. although sadly, by the time I figured this out a few days later, they had sold out of all their candy cane decorations. I was able to find a few more at the local craft store, but they were 4x the cost. I bought them out!
I am proud of my non-traditional pen blank discovery. They are a bit too small for anything other than slimlines, but maybe next year I can try (with the help from Greg?!!) casting them in clear to see if larger barrels are a possibility.
:biggrin:
