Looks like you got quite the production going. Is there a pic somewhere of a pen made with one of these blanks?
 
One I did last year.

Pictures really don't capture them though. The material is iridescent so you get flashes of color as the light plays across it.

Is this the glass you were "playing" with a while back? Sorry, I haven't been around the forum a lot lately.

Nope, not the glass. This shows more colors than the dichroic glass. Easier to work too (for me).

But I have the flat dichro pretty much down to a science now. Working on the crinkled dichro now, which gives more flash since the ripples catch more light.

I'm also working on glass enamel, which potentially will be nice too, but I'm not sure if I can encase it in resin like the dichro and Opal FX.

Then there is something else I'm working on. Ed has the first test blank for it, but hasn't turned it to my knowledge. Similar to the Opal FX PR resin destroys it (the chemical melt the Opal FX and the heat damages the other), thus my switch to West systems epoxy resin. Hope to do more work on these this weekend.
