I managed to get a few pens turned a few days ago - here is the first of them.

A Gold Omega Fountain Pen dressed in Spanish Olive.

The live gallery sure did the trick Derek, my thought was the background similarity in the original swallowed what is a very good pen.The caramel colour of the Olive is neat Tony. Beaut pen.

Thanks Peter - It's one of the choice blanks that I cut from a thick board back in August.

They look better the great thing is if they don't look right you can undo what you did not the most fancy editor but it does the job for me. Something else that sometimes help is stand back so the pen is smaller in the frame then zoom in rather than stand close and get it all in one shot

I hadn't knowingly used it before. But have to admit that it's quick, simple, does the job AND you can go back if you make errors.
