I have been wanting to play with some colors for the pens I have been working on. I have looked into some of the stains, dyes, and food/clothing color things out there, but then I remembered the power of a sharpie! No mixing, no waiting, no mess, no fuss! I used mahogany in the first pic, with some teal. It mixed to a nice greenish color. The rainbow took a bit longer to do. I didn’t time it, but it took somewhere around 90 seconds to apply. Instant gratification!

Thanks guys!

I used CA for the finish. A bit of color came off with the first few applications, but not enough to affect the color. To make the antler pen float, I just used a plate of glass at an angle over the background, and played with the shaddows to get the effect right. I have been having a hard time getting good pics of my pens but I think I am getting the hang of it.
