Ironwood's Pen Progression

I have been making these Stainless steel Ballpoint pens lately, some of my customers like the look of some of the older styles that I made, but I like the quality of these ones, for a few reasons, though they do cost me a bit more to make.

This is a new style, made lighter and thinner to appeal to women with smaller hands.
I have tried a few different ways to display the pen here, comments and criticism is encouraged.

This one is a standard sized stainless steel Ballpoint, the poly-resin was mixed to look like Opal.

Cheers Mike.
I can easily lose a pen, but there are plenty laying about, so I just pick up another one Oz .

OK, after some thought and processing the comments I have received, I went back and played with photo #6 in post #2.
I rotated it slightly and cropped the bits off the righthand side.

A guy bought a set of wedding pens that I had in stock about 6 months ago, 2 weeks ago he asked me to make another set for him.
I finished them yesterday.
As usual, C&C and preferences are welcome.

I have been putting extra diffuser material (packing foam) inside my lightbox to try and soften the light more,it has the bonus of cutting down on the unwanted reflections as well.
The foam works well, but it melts if it gets too close to the lights, I need to find something safer to use.
On the top light I have used a piece of waxed cooking paper, this might be a better option.
