Copper Rose

[Toni]

It has taken me quite a long time to find a tube that would look good with the Two-Toned Copper Sierra Any feedback greatly appreciated, may look good to me but not to you, would love to hear it. Was not easy to photograph either, white background no good and various other ones I tried, settled for this blue sky looking background.

Thank you!!

Wow! WoW! ...and WOW!

Ooh - very nice! I love the copper look! It is too flowery for my personal taste, but a beautiful pen to have on the table for sale!

 

[Toni]

Thank you Both!!

 

[randywa]

It is too flowery for me but there is 2 ladies in my life that love it.

 

[BRobbins629]

Toni - just about everything you make looks good, including this one. What would worry me is some of the bad press on copper plating. Don't think it is as robust as some of the others and in cases where the blanks are more valuable than the components, it would not be my first choice only based on this. Like I said - it looks marvelous.

Glad you remembered the ghost

Beautiful pen, Toni. I have a copper Elegant Beauty with one of your purple rose tubes, and they look good together.

That is clean and gorgeous Tonit

 

[skiprat]

Beautiful as always Toni. Although it matches the kit well, I have to agree with Bruce in that your work deserves to be on much better kits.

Toni,
Another beautiful creation that looks great with the two tone copper components. I have a hard time finding colors that I feel look good with copper - your creation's colors work well with the copper IMHO.

Thank you for sharing your work.

Toni, That a gorgeous pen....Pen Makers Guild...here we come :wink:. Regards, Doc

That blank is absolutely stunning!! For me the copper is overpowering. It's like staring at the sun. It's pretty, but bad for you!

I'd probably go with a chrome kit like the elegant sierra.

Toni

I think the copper kit is abit of an understated kit and I agree it just does not look right on that kit. I associate copper with browns or greens and copper itself. I think a red looks good on something with gold trimmings. Your work will make any kit shine though so thanks for showing.

 

[wiset1]

Just can't go wrong with these blanks Toni, they ALL look amazing...can't wait to finish mine up.

 

[Padre]

That is stunning!!!

Thanks for the feedback.

I did try and match it up with other Sierra kits just did not look as good as the copper might take it apart and put it on another kit and photograph it and see what everyone thinks.

[Dudley Young]

Super nice lady's pen. BZ

 

[CaptG]

WOW, Darth Toni strikes again. Just beautiful, even if I do need sunglasses to look at it for any length of time, and it is easy to look at. Very nice job. Again.

 

[CHEF]

:worship:Beautiful pen as we all expect from you Toni , just keep looking for more.

Hi Toni,

Very nice as usual. I like it.

My question on the photography is: how do you make your pen "stay put" resting on the clip? My guess it has something to do with a small lump of poly clay underneath.

Am I correct?

 

[knight_muzzleloader]

Love that!

 

[Dai Sensei]

Beautiful as usual Toni Love the combinations of colours, shapes and kit, I'm sure the girls at my work would love it.


Your work has inspired my to give the PC stuff a try and am pretty happy with the results, but, I'm still having trouble with distortion of the shapes. I must be over rolling to get the final dia, see here, any hints on final rolling to avoid distortion?

Cheers

Yes you are correct I have a dot of pc under the clip

 

[psperan]

Phenomenal art!!! Great work.

 

[76winger]

Excellent color combination, and I like the background choice as well.

Since I'm fine tuning my own pen photography currently I'll also add the even lighting and focus are phenomenal.

 

[seamus7227]

Great work Toni!! what are you using to make your ghost? Great concept

 

[LeeR]

Very nice. I'd be interested to know how well the copper finish holds up. I just bought a copper pen kit on a whim about a week ago. I like the looks, only just a bit concerned that it will hold up, and hope its no worse than the budget gold finishes.

 

[Sawdust46]

Toni, I've got to tell you what my grandson said when he was looking over my shoulder and saw your pen, "I can't beleive a girl can make a pen."

He didn't get that attitude from me!
And I love all of your pens I've seen.
