Vintage Black

[Brooks803]

Here's a new color I've been playing with. I think it'll work just fine! I reverse painted with black to really darken it up. It's more of a smokey grey color before painting. I put it on a Rhodium Retro. Really happy with how it all came together! Thanks for looking!

 

[hewunch]

oh man that is cool! But you need to make a finial

 

[Brooks803]

Lol...how did I know I'd see you say that?!? I gave it a thought Hans, but with the finial already black there wouldn't be much difference!

 

[hewunch]

Well, if you could get a white swirl in it. :biggrin:

 

[skiprat]

That is a stunning blank !! I love it !!
I personally think the vast majority of your blanks would be much better shown with Closed ended pens!!!:wink:
I also saw your 'abalone' one and think it's nice enough on it's own without having to compare it to MOP. Nice, but this one beats it hands down!!:tongue:

This looks like bottled smoke. Made me think that you and Martin need to do a collaboration - he'll handle the cigar and ash, you make the smoke. That would be an amazing set.

That blank is really cool. As was said above - looks like bottled smoke. Beautiful!

Thanks Steven! I'll have to give the closed end a try. My only concern is where the drilling stops at the ends there will be an area that doesn't get any paint coverage. I wonder how drastic the look would be??? Well...now I know an upcoming project to tackle.

That's a beautiful blank and it's perfect for the Retro. It's got the art deco look in spades!

 

[redbulldog]

[boxerman]

The depth in your blanks is unreal! The thing about this one is that it's seemingly simple, yet mind-blowing at the same time. Absolutely fantastic.

 

[sumterdad]

another fine cast and pen

 

[JohnGreco]

That is SHARP! Very well done.

 

[D.Oliver]

That's a sweet looking blank. There's just something about black and white. Those two colors together seem classy, like a tux.

Very cool. It looks like a lucite blank I have. Nicely done!

 

[jasontg99]

That is beautiful. As others have said, it looks like bottled smoke. I always look forward to seeing your casting experiments.
