Striking Feather Pens

[magpens]

Just showing off a few more pens made from cast feather pen blanks made by Marla Mills and purchased from Indy-Pen-Dance. Pen styles are all Aero (Elegant Beauty). These are so much fun to make and yield rewarding results. But if anyone can tell me how to get better pictures I would appreciate hearing. This pic was taken indoors under fluoro light with camera white balance set to fluoro. No flash.

Alright Mal you impressed and educated me. I would have never thought to put the gold feathers with the rose gold plating. They look great together.

Great looking pens. That is a nice assortment of blanks.

Marla's feathers are never disappointing. Good work!

A home made light box would help with your pics. One has helped with mine.

Link to $0 light box.

A couple of my before and after shots. With and without light box...

Can't get over those blanks! I keep telling myself that I'm going to turn one, but I keep getting caught up in other work. Really fantastic looking pens!

Almost a year ago now I was working through the process of getting better photos also. This link covers the discussion I had with several others here and my trials through getting my homemade photo booth up and running. Hopefully it will help get you to the next level:
