This is an acrylic called Ballerina. It took a week to complete as the blank is transparent pink. I had to reverse paint the drill hole in light pink several coats and paint the brass tube in a darker pink. Otherwise, you would just have seen brass and white lines; I know this because that's how the first attempt looked! Trial and error! The pen style is called a crown jewel, and has a swarovski crystal on the top. Call me crazy, but I'd say this is a girly pen.

I am sure many a young lady would fight to get their hands on this.
To me it is the single most grotesque article I have seen here, only age can excuse you from forcing it upon us innocent victims.
Have you been accused of war crimes before, this shows experience, this cannot be your first attempt?
Seriously though, nice workmanship great photography and your patience paid its dividend in the quality.
But it still looks hideous.

I had two people fighting over it and sold it for 60. I;'m making another for the other person. Yes, I plan on bringing several of my completed pens and some rare blanks for trade or just for show. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

George, now I see why you thought I was being subtle about your pen-clip ...

Well the fact it has a big crystal on the top lends itself to pink and you wouldn't give it to a night club doorman as a gift :funny:

Yorkie,

Brilliant, I have been asked to make a special stunning girlie pen. This is the one, but will have to change the colour.
Where do you get the kit from?
