??Survivor Pink Blank??

[WoodenDragon]

I have a customer wanting a pen utilizing the "Survivor Pink" color. Does anyone know of a supplier that would have this color blank? I've seen the bubblegum and more neon pinks at a few places, but they are looking for a more subdued light pink and i can't seem to find one. Maybe i just missed it...

Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I've used "Pink Lady" from CSUSA's "Pen Makers Choice" line.

Mike, I would value your input.

It is a little early to give specifics, but valued (and unnamed) member of this board and I are working on this. (Hint - he well known for his pinks!):biggrin:

I picked up a couple of blanks at Woodcraft. I paint the inside white which lightens them just right.

Dawn,

That is a wonderful idea. Will your blanks be uniform?

If Ed's involved, they'll be identical copies!

I haven't turned a pen from it yet, but the pink pvc drain pipe that Bruce sent me as a freebie looks like it would be the PERFECT color! :biggrin:

Pink flamingo from WC or BTW....paint the inside or tubes white and there you go. Has a nice swirl to it too...

You can't go wrong with some of pr_princess's pink blanks.

I donate a lot of pens to the local WABC organization for fund-raisers. Her standard pink blanks work well.

Penn State Industries has a pale pink blank as well. I've used a lot of these.

Thanks a lot everyone, I appreciate the help. I at least have a few options now...

I've been making lots of homemade 'micarta' lately. Finding the perfect colors have never been simpler. Just the other day, Cathy had me make some pink and green 'Kate Spade' colored blanks.

I think that this material would make a great 'survivor pink' pen as the cloth would mimic the texture of a ribbon.
