.......... Knight in semi shiny armor. Hope you enjoy the pic. I had as much fun setting the back drop as I did casting and turning. Be well......Jan

Great pen Janster! The background is kind of busy though. My eyes keep going from the background to the pen to the background, to the pen, to the background……makes my eyes go bonkers...just sayin':wink:

....yes, it is a bit busy. This pic does show the pen in a better light. The reason I went this route is that I am posting it in a group post that is associated with a upcoming Steam Punk Craft Fair event and it seems to fit that genre! Thanks fore the comments folks. Be well....Jan

Great Pen, Jan.
I was wondering how you got into my workshop to take the second photograph, then I worked out it wasn't my treasured collection what-nots I was looking at, so it had to be yours.
Though I must admit, the rust did look familiar.
Excellent Blank,Fit and Finish.
Have fun with the Steam Punk Craft Fair.
Brian.

Great pen, your photography shows it off well.

Very Nice job on the pen Jan!

Question: Did you steel wool or scuff the foil before casting to create the brushed/satin look to the blank?
