Okay, so with my son doing his painted pen I wanted to try something rather bold. I've seen the gold flake blanks for sale, but I really wanted to add a twist on it in my own little way.
I'm looking to get a feel on what people think about this and if it's worth doing more of these in various colors which would look truly dynamic with the Gold. I wanted to see an accent color on this one so I didn't pack the resin as tight with the gold leaf. Doing this allows the viewer to see dimension pulling the gold leaf from tube to surface. The casted blank looks a lot like corn flakes![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thoughts, comments... SORRY for the shadow in the turned image. The blue shines from end to end...just a bad picture!
IF IT HAS A BRASS TUBE IN IT...DOES IT BELONG IN THE CASTING FORUM?
