Title of Your Entry: Bullet Train
Description: I made this pen using Aluminum Tape, Assorted Paints, Watch Parts, Copper Sheet and Assorted Copper Wires
I put the blank on a Bolt Action Tec Pen Kit
There is a Train Track running around the kit and all the other hand shaped pieces are there to look like a working machine in the Steampunk Genre
Pen 4
Title of Your Entry: Jawbone Memorial
Description: This pen was created to memorialize a first whitetail buck harvest by casting the lower jawbone like the way some have cast alligator jawbones. The steps were as follows… 1. Boil the jawbone to get all the meat off. 2. Pull the teeth and clean the tooth pockets with a Dremel tool then boil again in soapy water to degrease. 3. Allow to dry then clean with alcohol. 4. Cut and sand to fit mold and cast with epoxy and Ocean blue and silver mica powder. 5. Pair with a Black and Chrome Le Roi kit.

Pen 6
Title of Your Entry: Old Levi's
Description: My favorite Levi's developed a rip in an indecent place, my wife said they had to go. I cut one of the legs into strips, soaked them in resin and put them in a mold. I took a photo of the label and did a label casting. Paired the turned blanks with a titanium Navigator and preserved my faithful jeans.
Pen 7
Title of Your Entry: Fractal Angel
Description: Using an AI computer program to generate fractal images. As image sets are created each is examined searching for a possible pen blank. Maybe 1 in a thousand images catches my eye. When I discovered this image the angel appeared as I rotated the fractal and the pen blank Fractal Angel was born. The blank was created using a label cast with Alumilite Slow Clear resin. I selected an Elegant Beauty single barrel pen in Chrome and Satin Chrome.
