Default Screaming Eagle and mermaid

This is a couple new little experimental projects I'm working on..it's been a learning experience. I love the "Screaming eagle" idea and the deer antler but I have a couple small air bubbles in my cast and I wish I had painted the inside walls of the cuts before casting as well..it is a clear cast paint amplification.

The "Littlest Mermaid", is scroll cut into a smaller style pen <rhodium Euro>. It is inlaid with 3 colors of glitter glue and then spun almost to size. It is then carved with simulated wave lines which also are filled with glitter glue. No, you don't feel the roughness when it is done, both pens are a full strength CA finish.

Thanks for looking.

PS..these are my exclusive pen designs, not for duplication please.

You did those on the scroll saw.........WOW. I know you said exclusive design, but did you mean the artsy stuff or pen included? I would love to see a WIP for this project, but maybe exclusive means NO?

Great pens Jeff!

Not being a jerk, but if you don't want folks "borrowing" your idea's, don't post pictures on a forum that anyone with a computer can access.

But I like to inspire. See, you can take the idea and run with it, just don't take my designs. There's a bazillion possibilities so that tracing mine is un-necessary.
