Cast silk pen quartet for a family of 4: snips of Habotai 8mm silk dyed with Jacquard silk colors, dyed silk rolled and bundled in parchment paper, dye then bonded to silk by steam fixing on top of a tamale steamer rack x 2 hours, stabilized with Cactus Juice, re-rolled in parchment paper, cured x 1 hour at 190 degrees, then pressure cast with Douglas and Sturgess polymer resin in clear PVC tubes; brightening up a rainy day:
Best regards to all - Bob
(could have gone with pre-dyed silk - but now prefer hand-dyeing for better color control and variety)
