I did some casting today and cut up some blanks and glued the brass tubes in to make a few pens. While waiting until tomorrow for the epoxy to cure I thought I'd bust this handle out. I cast the blank in late August/early July and have no idea what colors I used other than ruby red mica and I think transparent red dye, the other mica colors are a mystery. No beads or anything fancy, I didn't want to spend a lot of time sanding & finishing it. Just a simple shape that I think has beautiful coloring. I need to start writing down what I do because I like the effect on this one, it looks like a nebula to me, and I have no idea how I made it. Already drilled for a 24mm knot to be set at 48mm.
I gotta get some knots! The Christmas restraint is up so time to place an order.
