Venus was her name...

Made this one last night out of royal blue Madreperlato from Exotics. I've never had an MP blank show so much movement, and I really like this one. This is the first time I've made the Venus kit and at first I was concerned about the crystals making it look a little gaudy, but I think with this blank, it really looks good. Opinions?

Great combination of blank and pen. Love it.

Beautiful job David. I did one of those kits when they first came out and really like it.

David, I think it looks awesome! I love the Madreperlato resins. Your pen shows the depth and movement of the resin. Nice pictures. Regards, Doc

Wow!~ I'm sitting on one of those blanks, had no idea they look that great! Nice work David~!

Thanks guys! These blanks are foolers as you'd never suspect from looking at the unturned blank how nice they will turn out. Definitely a favorite of mine.

That looks fantastic David!!! Great job on the match up! Looks very high end, very expensive!!

I like the Venus, in particular the CB. Nice ladies pen, with classy bling!

There have been some "technical changes" in the madreperlatos in the last 12-18 months. The manufacturer in Italy has attempted to make the swirls more evident in the madreperlatos. The last couple we have gotten were kinda neat.

So, I have 8 colors on their way. Over 300 pounds in weight. Our FedEx guy is gonna love unloading NINETEEN boxes from his little truck!!!

Pics next week---look for a madreperlato "sampler" coming soon!!

Thanks for noticing---we try to keep the manufacturers making NEW things for you to make NICER pens.

The "sampler pack" is a great idea! I heard rumor of a green one that I'm excited to see. :biggrin:

Personally, I love the Venus pen. That looks really good to me!

Thanks Lucy! I'm definitely a fan of the Venus now.
