Polymer Pens

You probably noticed the pen covered in polymer in the last post. I discovered that the Bic Click pens work perfectly for this purpose. The ends and the ink portion all remove easily from the white core. Polymer can then wbe wrapped around the core and baked. After baking, I sanded so everything was smooth, polished it on my buffer, and re-assembled everything. I like this particular pen because the core is round rather than multi-sided, so it's easier to smooth the clay. Also, the mechanism is retractable, so the pen won't tend to leak or dry out. Here is photo of some more pens I made. I have some more curing. Guess you could say I'm on a roll!
