Eye Catcher? Or maybe a little too busy. What do you think?

[mbroberg]

This is one of my "Southwest2" blanks on an Antique Brass Southwest Mesa kit. I think it is one of those looks that people will either love or hate, with not much opinion in between. I'm always interested in hearing what the IAP panel of experts think. So, or ?

While not for my thing, lots of SW art is fairly busy and colorful, so I think there would be more than a few folks who have that bent will like it.

It looks like a well executed themed pen to me. Nicely done.

 

[KenB259]

I think it fits that pen perfectly.

 

[Jim15]

I like it.

I like vanilla ice cream! But I know there are other great flavors that fill the appetite of many.

That said, I do love the colors, but for me it is too busy. I would make that for someone else who really likes that kind of art.

 

[rixstix]

Not my cup of tea but I think it works quite nicely.

 

[Larryreitz]

Too busy for me, but, definitely an eye catcher for many others. Now hows that for equivocating?

 

[gbpens]

Absolutely stunning piece. It looks like a label.

Love

 

[tomtedesco]

Not my favorite.

I love the blank, I love the kit. Don't care for them to be together. My rule of thumb is if the blank is fancy, a simple kit. If the kit is fancy, a simple blank. Same goes for tables and legs.

I was going to say the same thing as @PreacherJon, so I second that thought. That's just a personal opinion, but I have no doubt that there's many people out there that will love that. Also, it's a very nicely done pen!

I've always like SW designs, as I have a little indian heritage myself. These designs have always been busy and I feel were made to be that way as all of it has meanings in one form or another. I like them. Nice job!

I like the way they look as a SW theme. There are a lot of people who like southwestern art styles. Personally, I like the more plain styles.

 

[walshjp17]

Works for me.

Although it is busy, I think it pairs well with the Mesa kit and would also look nice on the pewter finish, especially with the blue accents on the kit that match the blue on the blank. I don't know if I would think the same if it were mated to a different kit through. - Dave (PS - the pattern match on the seam turned out really nice).

 

[mark james]

I'm a fan!

 

[JohnU]

I like it! I think it's perfect for the SW pen set.
Nicely done Mike!

Eye catcher for sure. The pattern goes well with the pen design. The design appears to be a label cast or similar. Well done.
Do a goid turn daily!

It works, not to my taste but it definitely works. You need some kind of festival or some such to market that at though

 

[cmiller]

Really like these. Yes, busy, but nice designs. I also like the little hand-holders a lot, where did you get those?
