First successful pressure casting

[hilltopper46]

My stepdaughter has a thing for stars, so I glued some stars to a pen tube and then cast it. The picture doesn't show how they catch the light in real life, but you can get the idea.

Any comments are welcome.

Also, I have been experimenting with slimlines and tried out a design on a piece of honey locust that I bought from Cozee. I am very pleased with the results (the honey locust was a totally unexpected pleasant surprise) and have been carrying this pen now for about a week.

While I don't really care for the shape of the PR, I really like the casting idea, Tony. It looks pretty cool. Honey Locust was a surprise for me too. Interesting shape, but is it comfortable? I looks like the upper tube might hit my nuckle wrong.

I like them both. Don't know why but the Honey Locust made me think "look its a slimline with a hoody"!

nice job on the stars pen, but I reaaly like the shape of the slim, it makes it look ... unlike a slim, a good thing!

Nice job on both, Tony.

Tho' I really like the idea of the casting over stars for your stepdaughter-hope she realizes how much effort went into her pen.

For the person the star pen was made for it is excellent. I also like the shape of the slimline -- very different but effective.

I'll second what everyone else has been posting. Nicely done on both pens[]

Very unusual. The stars are different. Both nice pens.
