I built and cast my first batch of watch part pens this week...I have always used Bruce or Gary's (and will continue to...well worth the money), but wanted to try making my own. Didn't want to even try to copy their work so tried a couple new (at least to me) ideas.
I have only seen BLACK backgrounds (paint or fiber).... I used an "antique bronze" spray for my tubes and am very happy with the results. The paint has a gold flake in it that really goes well with the steampunk theme...not as "clean" of a look....I like it.
Also tried a "minimalist" approach....just a pair of hands! It has already found a new home so i will be making more!
I learned a lot making these, should be able to make an improvement or two in the next go round, but overall, very happy with the results.
comments/suggestions appreciated!
