Feels good to be making pens again! I have a few to show this week so I hope you wont get tired of seeing them. This is one of my favorites, I realized I did not have many purple pens so thats why I made this one.

In both photos you will notice a white (ghost) butterfly this is a signature on each of my tubes (as long as I dont forget to put it there:rolleyes:) that its a Toni Ransfield original.

Beautiful

Another beautiful creation of yours Toni. You have some very beautiful work. I need to invest into some of your blanks. My wife and I love your pens.
 
Toni this is another beautiful blank (as always). I do have a question - Do you actually have to "turn" the blanks before putting them on the pen or are they ready for mounting once you get done creating them? They're so pretty but I know virtually nothing about the polymer process.

FABulous!!! Purple is my favorite color. I am continually amazed that your work looks so good magnified so much - that is a real testament to the quality of your craft.
 
Holy butterfly bat girl, you've sure been hard at work in the bat :confused:....er butterfly cave. Like Vinny in Mr. Cotter always said....I'm so confused:confused:
OUTSTANDING​
 
Developing your own "maker's mark" is GREAT!!! Just like looking for the little bunny on a magazine cover!!!

Worked for them, I think it will work for you too!!!!

Good thinkin" Toni!!!
 
WOW gorgeous Toni!! Love the purple!
I think that zinnias are my new favorite! So detailed.
The ghost butterfly is a great idea too. :cool:


....Going to do these in black???? :tongue::biggrin:
 
Simply stunning Toni. What fascinates me beyond comprehension is the process you go thru actually creating the pieces (I think you call them canes) that go into this artwork.
As Dawn mentioned, are you going to do any black ones that could be carried by men (don't anyone start with the sexist funnies!), maybe with more of a graphic focus vs. a flowered one? I would definitely want to add that to my collection.

Cheers
Bob
 
Once again you've hit a home run...purple is your best color...no the red ones are your best....I mean the yellow roses....

I looked for the caterpillar but I guess it has already transformed into a butterfly.:biggrin::biggrin: Or, it is a ghost caterpillar and can't be seen. Keep ;em coming.
do a good turn daily!

Linda take a read through the basic tutorial link is in my signature. They are pretty much made to size for each kit unless it is a kali and they can be turned on the lathe. These are just a nice sanding, polish and CA and ready to go.

Oh, Tony, I forgot, that is one beautiful pen. My order form Ed and Dawn with your yellow roses just came in. When I get it together, there will be some bragging going on here, too.

Toni - beautiful work....again. I was lucky enough to find an issue of polymer cafe (5-3) from 2007. Of course you already know you were featured in the article.Your work then was just as impressive as now.:smile:
 
I always enjoy flipping through your gallery of work for inspiration. This is yet another amazing looking pen! Awesome as always
 
Toni, I am running out of words to describe the beauty of your pens and this one is no exception. It is GORGEOUS! Love the ghost butterfly as a trademark. Regards, Doc
