and baby blue/baby pink with gold glitter in the blue and silver glitter in the pink

both were designed and mixed by the girly, cute half of the team

Excellent set of posts here, Thanks again everyone. I'm looking forward to the video and attempting to cast my first set of blanks. Time to make my next step forward into the hobby.

 

[ZanderPommo]

yeah hopefully I can make it as Informative as possible in the like 10 min I want it to be. If I can figure out how to cut and edit it I might make it like a two parter. Depends.
At least I have a cameragirl that should help. I don't want a resiny camera

 

[ZanderPommo]

I still encourage everyone to show off their best hombrews, I want to see what the best are capable of

 

[ZanderPommo]

got the video done just gotta figure out how to do it tomorrow (get it up on the interweb)
Also how would I go about posting a link to these videos in the library???

 

[lcasad]

Looking forward to the video and link.

 

[ZanderPommo]

and duchrome sparkle, and copper. we missed the goldylocks stage on this one and had to chunk it up, while i wish it were swirly its definately still cool.

 

[JoeHodge1978]

Alex, what type of resin did you use. PR or some other type. If you mentioned it I must have missed it. You have done a great job. Maybe one day I will have my assistant help me. Well probably not. She is a School Teacher and she has mentioned several times that she enjoys dealing with kids all day, but really don't want to come home and help this 50 year old kid out in his playroom.

 

[ZanderPommo]

I use Silmar 41 clear polyester casting resin

 

[ZanderPommo]

pen made with gold, copper, and silver. the silver has hologram glitter which reflects every color

 

[atomic ray]

If it has not been used already, I would go with a name like Nebula for that one...looks like a section from a NASA stellar photo...sexy as heck.

Well done.

Hmmm...well I figured the name would have been used, and the Nebula-T looks good also...

Ok then how about a particular nebula like the Orion Nebula http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cache2.artprintimages.com/p/LRG/21/2145/UZDCD00Z/stocktrek-images-alnitak-region-in-orion-flame-nebula-ngc2024-horsehead-nebula-ic434.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.art.com/products/p13071377-sa-i2263944/stocktrek-images-alnitak-region-in-orion-flame-nebula-ngc2024-horsehead-nebula-ic434.htm&usg=__4OUWWe6RTR-TcPlk9F4LUCltZMA=&h=300&w=400&sz=29&hl=en&start=12&tbnid=gsn1Emllm2uE1M:&tbnh=128&tbnw=167&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dnebula%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26rlz%3D1B3GGGL_enUS277US278%26biw%3D1266%26bih%3D573%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C565&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=562&vpy=142&dur=1595&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=133&ty=96&ei=im5lTPTnBsKC8gaL-8HeCA&oei=V25lTNqJB8Gclgexk5CTDg&esq=16&page=2&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:12&biw=1266&bih=573 or create a name like Zander Nebula or Emma Nebula.

Still looks good to me.

silmar is cheaper by alot and ive heard that castin craft from michaels is more brittle.
for me a gallon of Silmar 41 from US COMPOSITES is shipped to my door from florida for less than $50

 

[DozerMite]

I don't care if you use the name, I was just mentioning that I had a blank by that name. I don't own the name.:wink:

 

[atomic ray]

Your Nebula-T was excellent also my friend :RockOn:

 

[johnspensandmore]

Those are very professional looking blanks. I'd turn any of them!

Tony, If you call around to various places that do boat repair, you might be able to find someone that actually sells the Silmar 41 locally. I buy mine for $33/gal and pick it up on my way home from work...

A few calls may save you several dollars!

Silmar resin is much nicer to turn than "Casting Crap" I mean Casting Craft from Michaels... It is really much more brittle than Silmar

From my first foray with Silamr 41. I'm definatly liking this stuff better than the castin craft. Used Pearlex powders.
