Colored pencil pen

[Dennis22]

I glued a bunch of colored pencils together and this was the result.

..other than the shape ( personal view ) it looks like you nailed it. I am not one for the large center portion, but many are! BE WELL......JAN

Yup. Fatter than I like, but quite beautiful. Nice job. Russ

Looks cool. I saw a ring made like that recently. Now I have another thing on my to do list.

I've thought about doing this since someone posted the pic of the ring they made a few weeks ago. We have 3 elementary school aged kids, so we have LOTS of half used colored pencils!

A very Colourful Blank, Dennis.
Also, Too Fat around the Girth for me, (due to the way I am built, I am very concious about girths)
Mind you I think standing on my head to view the photograph, didn't make me feel too comfortable either.
It is too pretty, and deserves to have a happier life. Can you turn a bit more off the Blank?

I bought colored pencils today because I saw that ring a few weeks ago. I'm making a pendant out of mine

Nice! I wondered when I would see the first one!

I tried to make one of the blanks from colored pencils and it is not as easy as it looks. I found that the lead slips out of the pencils very easily once you've cut them to size and the soft wood of the pencils tends to chips away very easily. All that's to say, nice job!

I seen a member make a few of these a few years ago. They are very eye catching and not as easy to make as they look. I just finished, three days ago, making 7 of them for my son's teachers and like stated above, the colored lead likes to fly out while turning. I cast mine in alumilite but I'm wondering if they would work better if stabilized in cactus juice after being cast.

Here's the one from 2010...http://www.penturners.org/forum/f13/few-special-casts-61888/
