This guys first attempt didn't come out so well, however the second one is pretty cool.

Nice job, Jerry! The wedge end looks great too!

So is this to stack-up and make brushes, Andrew?

I'm cutting scales from it.

OH GOOD! I always need scales!

Link to the product you used?

Hmmm you could do some crazy things with that though Andrew. I bet you could do all sorts of patterns.

It's all back in post 12832. Only thing I did different was made PVC moulds, and poured the same resin into those. I made the moulds big enough, so the final resin castings were big enough to make scales from. The gold blank I used white gold mica powder with a bit of pearl mica powder. The translucent blue blank I used Alcohol ink dye that I got from Michaels.

I was thinking the same thing Rez

Jerry, those wood scales turned out great.

I have 24 mica powder colours, and 18 ink colours for translucent blanks. The only downside to the whole process is the resin I'm using is ultra stinky.
