I managed to get downstairs for a few minutes and turn a few new pens. The first is another polymer clay blank that Gail did. The second is a segmented with scallops in Curly Maple. Hope you like them. Both are mated to Rhodium Jr. Gent 2 hardware.

Congrats to both of you,they look super!

Love the vibrant colors of hers,and the excellent segmenting on yours.

Mike,if I could ask a question..... What glue to you use to glue the aluminum in? I have cut some wood that I want to line the pieces with aluminum from a pop can.Would epoxy be good,or would it show? or ca?

Also,is a pop can a good candidate? Or is it better to source flat sheets from maybe a hobby store? I looked at Home Depot,they didn't have anything thin enough.

Thanks for any thoughts,
Steve
 
Hi Mark,

This metal is aluminum roof flashing. Yes I do all my own segmenting and have done quite a few of these. I have not had much time for segmenting but am finding more time now.

Very excellent work! I assume you do your own segmenting? What metal do you use? Just curious.

Hi Steve,

I have used pop cans lots of times but this is roof flashing.

I use only Satalite City fumeless glue they are in the Vendor catalog forum. It seems to hold very well I have used probably 20 or so bottles of that glue on my segmenting. Epoxy can be used but I have had a lot of trouble drilling it?

Have you looked around in the segmenting forum? I have a complete tutorial on exactly how I make these scallops. While you are in there look around at all of the segmented pens in the no comments thread. There are some fantastic segmenters here!
