The Cheeto Pen

We had a request for a pink stand and a gold and Cheeto pen.
As a bonus I polished the extra and gave it away... oops now we do not have it in our cutoff collection.  Take a picture it will last longer.
The blanks is alumilite.
Used clay to make our scaled down cheetos  Rubbed between two rough bits of wood to get a rough texture.
Then we baked them.




To make sure we had enough alumilite we mixed extra and poured a money blank.
Turning it on the lathe
Some professional photos in our little photo booth.  
Nancy has taken to adding bumps and such to the pens.
We should find the cheeto fan page and upload a photo our creation.

The new owner received her pen and loves it.
