Ultra Cigar Puzzle Pieces

[qquake2k]

This is an Ultra Cigar pen, in chrome and gold. The blank is an acrylic from Exotic Blanks called Puzzle Pieces. It has small, multi-colored puzzle piece shaped acrylic pieces embedded in clear resin. I got it for my mother, who loves jigsaw puzzles. Since the resin is clear, i reverse painted the blanks with white, painted the tubes, and colored the epoxy. I struggled with what color to use, and considered silver or black. But in the end I chose white, and I think it made the bodies look brighter. It looks kind of whimsical, but my mother will love it.

For what its worth I think you made the right colour choice with white I thing you would have lost a lot of the brightness great job I'm sure your mother will just love it

Love the white background you acheived when you asked for suggestions I put that up thinking it would be bright and there it is sparkling. Great pen Jim.
