Glitter Icon

[qquake]

This is a PSI Icon pen in chrome. The blank is another homemade one by my friend Dennis. I should have back painted it, it's more translucent than I expected. Still, it doesn't look bad. Lots of glitter!

I did color the epoxy, but it didn't help much.

Jim, it's Dennis. These blanks are turning out great! We'll definitely need to make some more color combos for you.

I got the magnetic pen yesterday. The phots don't do it justice, really cool looking when polished up.

I did one of those in a plainer blue without painting it and it looked pretty bad to my eye. I don't know what I was thinking. The glitter on yours helps a little.

Yeah, I'm having fun with your blanks. I trimmed this one smaller before I turned it. Didn't take nearly as long to turn. This pen is actually for Olga. She DEMANDED I make her a slim pen from the glitter blank. When Olga demands, I comply. She's a switchblade carrying KGB agent!

I can't argue that logic haha! I was wondering if if those blanks were too thick, maybe try some thinner ones next time to get a variety.

I actually started a second pen with the leftover portion of the glitter blank. I painted it this time. It will be interesting to see how it turns out compared to the unpainted one.

3/4" diameter would be plenty big enough for most pens. There is a line of acrylic blanks called Rhino, that are 7/8" square. Even those are usually too big.

There are quite a few Rhino blanks. They're brittle, but not as brittle as some.

Rhino Plastic Pen Blanks

Rhino Plastic Pen Blanks are hand made here in the US from polyester resin combined with high quality dyes and micas. Highly economical, they require a bit more skill to turn but polish up beautifully! Unless otherwise stated, the pen blanks are a generous 7/8" square x 5", and will fit most of...
