Great looking turns all around. The first pen is an eye catcher and a real beauty!

I really like the gold and silver leaf- very sophisticated looking!

I like the postage stamp pen the best although the first one is very nice as well!
The silver leaf reminds me of those cheesy sci-fi movies from the (?) 60's. :biggrin:

Where did you get the gold and silver leaf? Those pens are pretty slick, a very space-age look. Nice set of pens, especially the leaves!

Are the gold and silver chopped or just wrapped around the tube? Thanks. Don.

Really a nice display of pens, I am partial to the first one, that's a statement pen, lots of color and you can still see the quilting. The casts are also nice, especially the Stamp pen.

thank you all for the comments. I'm using shredded leaf for the gold and sheets for the silver, i like the look of the shredded better. got it from michaels along with the adhesive for it

yes I find the leaf pens hold sort of a classy look, and a scifi one as well:biggrin:
