Keith,
That's outstanding...on a side note...how's the QB situation this year in Chicago? You like what's there?

Very nice clay creation and it an outstanding first photo post. Your techniques open up a relatively new venue of making pens.

It's a touchdown! I don't watch football, but am inspired by your pen non-the-less.

I am excited. Jay Cutler is a hometown boy. I grew up in that area of Indiana which makes me partial to Cutler. I wish he has someone to throw to!

Thanks for all the great comments. To me clay is a blast to work with and hopefully I can dispell some of the bad reviews it has gotten in the past.

Funny thing, I've been researching Polymer clays and PMC for the last couple weeks, about to jump in and see if I can get some of the ideas out of my head and into the real world.
I figured Polymer Clay would be a cheaper way to see if I have the patience instead of blowing a bunch of money on PMC stuff.

PMC is a different story. The shrinkage plays games with you. It is also tricky to hold perfectly round shapes when you fire it due to the softness (.999 pure silver). You would be better off taking a silversmithing class and using sterling (I have thought about it).
If you have any questions about PC let me know.

That is a beautiful pen! Well done!

That is a great pen!!!
Can you actually get the clay hard enough, yet not too brittle, so that it can be used regularly?
The more I look at it, the better I like it! Excellent texture!

Greg O. polymer is much like plastic after it has cured. It is very durable. I have a pen that I have used everyday since I have started. The plating is starting to show signs of wear, but the clay has held up perfectly. Working in a kitchen the pen has with stood some pretty extreme conditions. That is not saying I would go out and whack it with a hammer numerous times or drag it down the road behind my truck, but it has survived until now.
Thanks,

Wow! I would love to know how you do this. I made some segmented pens for football season last year, and sold everyone of them. This takes it to a whole new level.
Do you have any pictures of the process?

I don't. My hope is to have a website up and running in a few weeks. Then I can start working on some tutorials.
This pen just made it to the big leagues. It was purchased by the Miami Dolphins team physician.
