Occasionally I get bored so I like to spice it up(?). (We'll see what you think first) There's always something left when you get "store bought" blanks. (I keep everything, unfortunately my wife says....
) Before I get going I have to make apologies to Eugene Soto (ElMostro) and a couple of others on IAP from where some of these "scraps" came from. :biggrin:
Both pens are made with the Streamline pen kit.
The standing pen is made from three different types of cherry, it has a bit Walnut, Yellowheart and teal colored Boxelder. It also contains a piece of Red Corn Cob. The "white part" next to the nib? It's a piece of a much larger slab.... a Butcher-block purchased from Goodwill on senior citizen's day (Wednesdays) and chopped up for this purpose.
The pen that is laying down is pieces of some ElMostro's Amalgam-Mutts (3 different pieces), a slice of Cocobolo, two acrylics Green and purple, and another piece of corn cob (Green).
Anybody else this crazy?
A footnote: I was at an Art Show this past Saturday. I had two such pens in my displays, three other "Scrap" pens in my shirt pocket. Every time I took one these out someone wanted it. All in all I sold 5 scrap pens at the show. I had a nice looking 11 piece Cigar Pen with gun metal finish that sold for $45 all Corian types and Acrylics. Maybe too small on the price?
All comments are welcome, and Thanx for your time!
