Ancient Mars

[wizard]

This is one of Dawn's creations, Ancient Mars, from Exotic Blanks on a Black Chrome Wall Street II. I'm not really sure the photos are that great because the pen, particularly the blank, looks much nicer in person. Comments welcome but most of all thanks for looking. Doc

Doc, as usual vary nicely done. But one question...With all the beautiful pens you've shown lately when do you have time for doctoring?:wink::biggrin:

I agree with Roy, Doc?! You must be part timin' it, doc lol Just kiddin'. Your pens look great! However, these pics appear very bright in comparison to previous pics you've taken, and I think the darker backgrounds that you have used turn out better for ya. What about a beige color backdrop instead of white!? anyway, just a thought, great work regardless!

Doc, you did it again. I am sure glad that Dawn's blank looks better in person than in the photo, otherwise I would be on a pilgramage to steal it away. Your choice of componants and blank is impeckable and the quality of work is even better. Golly Doc, I wish I could spell good enough to use a dictionary.

Roy and Seamus,
There are days I wish I were part-time. On work days, I make a pen a day...usually around 4:30 in A.M. On my days off as on weekends and usual holidays,..today.. I make any where from 1 to 4 pens a day. It has been the biggest stress reliever for me next to exercise. I did almost quit a few weeks ago because it was taking up too much time... Doc

Great looking pen Doc, Dawn can do some amazing casting, and you did a nice job bringing the life to this pen.
