    All that glitter's

    Hi all, one from my weekend.... A Sirocco with one of Phils cast glitter blanks. If ever there was a perfect pairing of kit and blank, I think this would be very close

    Faith, Hope and Love

    Turned another Faith, Hope and Love pen today. In my mind they are not perfect as I think I should have spent a bit more time polishing them. I am still learning.....:thumbs:

    Another acrylic pen

    Managed to get in the shed again, happy with the result using a fancy slimline from penkitzandbitz. Tried wet and dry then micro mesh and though not perfect I think it's better than my first attempt.
