BE VERY CAREFUL!!! TO ANYONE OUT THER WORKING W/ ABALONE SHELL, ALWAYS WEAR A RESPIRATOR!!! THE DUST FROM THE SHELL CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, EVEN FATAL IF BREATHED IN ENOUGH... It's not even reccommended that you tumble them in a rock tumbler because of the build up of toxic gasses inside the tumbling drums... and oh, one more thing, ABSOLUTLY GORGEOUS PENS!!! THEY ARE STUNNING!!! I can also appreciate how you were able to "Think outside the Wood"[] Take care,


Ben

Beautiful Alice! The two Abalone pens are stunning!

I'm guessing they're glued to the tube that you painted black? totally AWESOME!! We did some experimenting ourselves this weekend---hopefully the PR will TURN! LOL Two fun pens- perhaps will post by Friday or Saturday. I think experimenting with resins could be addictive!!! Now you've got my brain going...Mike's gonna wanna kill me!

I don't think you can get much closer to looking like abalone as you did there. I like the idea and the pens came out looking sweet! The second one made out of real abalone has my vote due to more pieces in the casting. Good job on all.

Rock resins, abalone resins.......how about some that look like wood?[] You resin folks have some really cool ideas!

Beautiful work, Alice! It's hard to tel the PR abalone from the real thing. The PR opals are dead ringers in the picture.

I love 'em![8D]
