Building the pen was pretty straight forward stuff....
paint the pen tube,I used florescent green on this one ( I have a florescent orange one also) then I put a couple of clear coats over the green,after that I added coat of black.
I put the tube on the lathe at a slow speed and ran some 80 grit over it. The clear kept the paper from cutting thru the green but left a swirled effect.
The grapevine can be peeled into paper thin pieces and glued to the tube.
I added some glitter (that's the white appearing spots) to the PR and massaged in the usual manner.
Very easy and quick to build and as I said before the pictures don't do the look justice.
