Thanks guys!
Yes Skye, you can barely see the turquoise inly but it's there. BTW I have made pens from polymer clay, didn't like the results. I make jewelry and other things with the clay.
I havent seen any I was in love with either, but how about a centerband made from fimo on an acrylic pen? If your one of those crazy gals that makes all the complex paterns in clay, you may be able to pull something off.
