Joseph B Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Wow, you have been very busy. Thank you for sharing. You're welcome. Yes, each batch is considerable work before you can start turning the pen. And only after the material is polished do you see the outcome. But it is gratifying to see the result emerge and whether it is like you envisioned it. Joe B. Link to post Share on other sites
Joseph B Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 I actually like both combinations -vlinear and mixed, and higher contrast rippled (though I think that probably this one may enhance the colours best). You did well in using both in your first batch. Colour wise, maybe you could try some yellow, dark orange, light blue... Cool, thanks for your input. I will try that combination, sort of like colors in a candle flame. Neat suggestion. Joe B. Link to post Share on other sites

amk Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 A really good strong yellow would be amazing. Or brown and cream. Too many pens, too little time!http://fountainpenlove.blogspot.fr/ Link to post Share on other sites
Joseph B Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 A really good strong yellow would be amazing. Or brown and cream.Thanks for your suggestions. I agree. I have been working on a dark brown and creme and also a dark green and cream, These will probably be in my next few batches.On the yellow, do you mean solid yellow? The solid colors that I have done are also very cool, best appreciated in the hand, up close so the weave can be discerned. Thanks, Joe B. Link to post Share on other sites
