Mosaic of a Princess

[Buzzzz4]

You ever go to a certain website and look at all those beautiful resin pen blanks and wish you could just buy them all? I think I've done that a few times with the rolling of my wife's eyes.

As a result of my many trips to see the princess' beautiful resins, I had some extra pieces I decided to make into a mosaic. I think a good selection is respresented here.

That is awesome! Not only do you have some really cool blanks put into that but you combined them perfectly! Great Pics Too!

Dawn's magical resins are awesome and you just made a creative, festive
piece of art with a flow to it! Thanks for showing! Regards, Doc

Good job on this one. I like how you cut and pieced this all together. It turned out really nice, and for sure makes me think of mosaic patterns.

That looks great, I too have used every last scrap (cut off) from Dawn's PR blanks. They are too good to allow any portion to go to waste.

SUPER SWEET!!!
I really like that idea....
This forum continues to amaze me - endless amounts of creativity and talent everywhere.
GOOD JOB!
? Question?
Was it difficult to cut the curved pieces and have them glue up so perfectly? Is there a trick or method you used for this?

 

[Buzzzz4]

Thanks! A blank like this was done on my bandsaw. There was an opposite pattern to this one, but it succombed to my aggressive turning style. I can't take credit for the cuts, there was a tutorial on another site for making something similar to this. I just adapted it.

Nice work on the blank, and the pen. Neat concept for the mosaic.

I love scrap pens, and using Dawn's resins is almost like cheating! Nice looking pen.

I've had a couple questions as to how to do this. It's a take on a design from Dean (Alphageek) who posted this to the pen shop back in '09. It's a great way to make a fun pen. http://www.thepenshop.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=360

You have a great eye for art. I have tried gluing up scraps and it always looks like crap. Yours on the other hand looks perfectly designed and the colors go well together. Nice job.

 

[Drstrangefart]

Killer job! It looks like those pieces were made with the intended goal of going on that specific pen.

Well done Eric! great looking pen.

Wow!! That is exceptional work!! The fact that you pulled it off is what amazes me, by using all scraps, and then throwing in the wavy lines! Bad A$$
