What is your opinion on this color?

Thanks for your feedback.

like to see it turned...looks like swampgrass

 

[DozerMite]

I will get it turned as soon as I get some kits. I'm all out right now.

It reminds me of a cucumber.

 

[LostintheWoods]

It reminds me of my dad's 1948 Packard.

for some reason it looks like asparagus to me

I assure you, there were no vegetables harmed in the making of this blank.

Here is a better pic in the sun.

i think it's got some potential and i don't know exactly what you were going for, but in my opinion it would look a little better if the colors were blended more.

The colors are more swirled in the center. That will show after it is turned. I don't worry about scraping the sides of the mold when mixing since that will get turned away.
I will post a pic after I get a kit and turn it.

I wouldn't worry about the sides, at all.

When I cast two colors in a tube, they always look like that when they come out. Frequently, they will look like air brushed flames, once they're turned.

looks interesting, are you sure you put that in the pressure pot or the refrigerator last month?

Was your mascot the cuke off of Veggie Tales? [xx(]


I like the color--- should be a big hit with the tree-hugger types. Call it "Night-Veg".

James, I like it are you using the ice trays?

I've been using my silicone molds.

some of the comments are funny, but if you like the color and you can sell it, that is all that matters. the point is you had fun casting and mixing it.

I love casting my own stuff, have ordered more colors to make more, just need help on how and when to mix the color to get the swirls

Seems like it would do great for a Saint Patrick's Day pen.
