Made from Invisible Blanks - Tiger Stripes!

This one will get some urushi pretty soon.

"Their tops are made of the rubber, their bottoms are made of the springs..." oops, too many Gs.

Nice pen - love those stripey blanks from Lyle!

Bengal fans will love it. I love it and I am not a Bengals fan.

Thanks!

One of my students today mentioned the bengals when they saw this.

It's also Giants colors. Sorry....National League West Champion Giants colors:biggrin:.

Not a great pattern for the Giants though. I use the Orange Marble blanks as my Giants pen go to blank when I need one.

I like that pen.

How and why are you going to urushi that??

 

[watch_art]

how - with a little lint free napkin. wipe it on thin and then wipe it off. repeat about 20 times.

why - customer wants it.

 

[ragz]

actual urushi??
Won't it attack the acrylic?


Where are you getting urushi? I've done the techniques with lacquer but can't find any actual urushi

 

[watch_art]

I don't know if it will attack the acrylic. I don't see why it would though.

I was given a tube of the stuff - somebody on FPN bought some to play with, didn't know how to apply it, and then sold it. The person who bought it sent it to me w/o telling me they had even bought it. Very nice little surprise.

There's a Japanese website you can buy it from no problem. I think about $65-80 shipped.
