[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 75834, member: 10447"] I went into town yesterday and picked up a range of about 20 different colour and texture paper to use as backgrounds. Here is a ballpoint I completed today, it features Paua Abalone shell which has been cut into strips and glued to a brass tube, and then cast in clear resin. I have then turned it to size on the lathe and polished the surface of the resin. I took a lot of shots with different backgrounds, but narrowed it down to these ones. Thinking about it now, I should have taken one on plain white paper also. I dont know about anyone else, but I like how on the first one there is a reflection line along the barrel of the pen, the ones laying down are missing this. I may have had the first one positioned further back in the lightbox, but I am not sure. Click on the pics to enlarge...
