Today's Color Cast - Pastel Patriot

[egnald]

Today I did a cast with Alumilite Clear Slow with Eye Candy pigments. The recipe was 50% Sayu White, 10% Ryujin Blue, 15% Kanpanyura (purple), and 25% Baku Red. With the way that I pour I think the color separation always looks much more pronounced on the outside of the blank because of how the resin kind of clings to the sides of the molds as I am pouring. Overall I think they came out looking kind of like I had hoped other than the blue looks like it has a little bit of a green-ish tint, especially in the pictures.

I ordered some more Stainless Steel Apollo Rollerball kits from Kate at Bullseye Turning when they came back in stock a day or so ago. I had this kit in mind when I came up with the recipe - but I might try one out on an Antique Silver Diamond Knurl Rollerball too.

Looks like you're having fun, and the results are gonna be great in pen form. I'm looking forward to seeing them when they are pens.

Can't wait to see the skin turned off of those blanks.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what's going on, on the inside! It'll look great with stainless steel.

Looks like you have found another rabbit hold to go down. Results are looking good, would like to see finished product.
