Polymer clay pen.The canes were made by my own dainty little hands, there supposed to be roses.

The finish isn't great yet however I know what I did wrong and can fix it for the next one.
The marks on one of the pictures is where the blanks fell down while cooking in the oven. I didn't have the nerve to turn of much more since the background was already leaking through more than I wanted it too. I did try detail sanding but that stated to make the roses look even more distorted.
Three coats of superglue then sanded starting at 600 - 1200 - 2000 and then Mer car polish. I then applied three coats of lacquer for a finish.

Quite proud of this one. :banana:

That old game Simon says is true this result well worth pursuing.Busy here Mark is travelling thousands of kilometres to visit this week.

Blending the roses with the swirling, twisting came to lfe so well. Like the pen. Busy fingers everywhere are twitching to have a go.
