I would just like to introduce myself to all.
I am Pat and I have been turning pens for a year now.
What a rewarding and relaxing activity it is.
I took pen making up a month after my father passed away last year.
It was a hobby to him and he loved making different pens.
I wanted to carry on his craft and have quickly learned through online video's and have hosted a couple of craft fairs in Cambridge selling them.
I never tire of the lovely comments people make about how beautiful the pen's and perfume dabbers are.
I have just started making my own acrylic blanks and purchased a pressure pot to keep them bubble free.
It is always a surprise when mixing different colours and ingredients to the acrylics as to what comes out.
They always look fantastic.
I have added Coffee bean's, Pasta, Pot Purri, and glitters.
If anyone has tried any other things that they think I should give a try I would appreciate suggestions.
Looking forward to hearing from you and picking up some hints and tips in the forums.
Pat Carter.
