I needed a few upcomming birthday gifts for this month and wanted something a little different for the receiver's special tastes. This was one is for the Grandaughter who likes all things creapy. The basic kit is a PSI Skeketon Key in 24Kt Gold. The blank is a end cut Spalted Oak with CA finish. After putting the pen together, I liked the detail of the castings, but I was unhappy with the Large amount of Gold plateing. The antique Pewter and Antique Copper in these kits have black backgrounds, and it makes the design stand out. I used my 4 hair Sable brush and a little blue Alcohol dye to transfer the background color. I also added several Swarovski crystals to the top and key center. It didn't take much to turn a good kit into a one of a kind gift. To some of our newer members, don't always be satisfied with what you receive in the package !! Jim S
