Four sierras done in mainly blacks & whites

The black one was a right pig to turn, a lava (volcanic ash) mixed with acrylic, had to sharpen the chisel every few minutes, in the end left it a couple of mm wider in the centre than I would have liked but i had, had enough of the stuff, one to strike of my want list.

Billy my take on Acrylic is along the same lines you describe sometimes you wonder why but that is making sometimes a royal breeze sometimes brittle etc thanks for showing.They will find a happy home.

All of them are lovely pens Billy and I'm glad you said about the volcanic blank I was thinking about getting some but will give that a miss now. :thumbs:
