I’ve had another attempt at this pen today. After accidentally sanding the picture off last week I realised I’d also sanded the wood down too far at one end and the tube was showing through. There’s no coming back from that, so I had to cut the whole thing off the brass tube and start again.
That’s if I could find the tube….. I’d put it somewhere to one side while I did the Chocolate Caramel pen, and for the life of me couldn’t find it. While looking however, I did find some ring magnets I’d mis-placed and bought more to replace, and a Stylus Pen end that I’d also lost. I should tidy up more 🙂
I eventually found it with the pen kit in a little drawer organiser – the logical place to put it, where I was sure I had looked before…..
It’s now got a Tulip blank on it, turned down and given a gloss coat, and has the transfer back in place. I learned a bit from the project pen with a waterslide transfer, so need to do a little finishing off, give it the final coats and assemble it.
It’s obviously going to be too late for today’s remembrance, but will still make a great demonstrator.
