My favorite prickly pear cactus pen so far!

[MesquiteMan]

Here is my favorite prickly pear cactus pen I have made so far! It is a Platinum/Black Titanium sierra with a clear cactus blank. The inside of the blank is bright blue but it was NOT painted! It uses a different process I am working on and in this case, it worked quite well! Your comments are always appreciate, good or bad! Thank for looking.

Nice, but I like the Black and Copper more.

Sorry to disagree, looks un natural.
You are loosing your selling point of it being a cactus.
Copper is still my vote. But a wonderfull looking blank.

It is sharp, but it is not quite loke the clear and black, I agree with Anthony, that it loses its natural appearance.

Doesn't appear to be cactus like the rest, but I still like the look. That blue is just brilliant and is really set off by the contrast of the cactus. Cactus looks black and white in pic, is that correct or is it more tan/brown?

Neat looking pen but I think I liked the copper better. This one does not look as "cactusy" to me. Still looks good though!

It may be better looking in person, I agree with the rest that say it's just not natural enough looking.

 

[airrat]

Nice looking but also agree not natural enough for me. Maybe its the blue color.

Curtis,

It looks pretty sharp! I like the combined light and dark colored skeleton lines -- almost looks like it is casting a shadow. I think I know how that happens, but I won't embarass you by asking you to divulge any more secrets. []

Nice photo layouts as well. I like the glass below.

That is just awesome

 

[NavyDiver]

I still like the clear black best.

It might not look natural, but I still like it. Looks sort of abstract.
