A reef at your fingertips

Toni Ransfield gives us calm smiles with her coral reef pen blanks on PolymerClayDaily.com

Just looking at this coral reef pen blank from Alabama’s Toni Ransfield will drop your blood pressure and bring a Friday smile to your face. Watch her rotate the design on her Instagram.

Toni calls it, “My favorite fish blank to date. I added coral this time. I think the coral is what made it look so awesome!”

Since this tube is meant for a longer (Zen model) pen, Toni was able to include coral and layer more fish swimming under your fingertips. See more on her ClayPenBlanks site and Facebook.

The slim profile and clear blended colors on Deb Hart’s twist ballpoint pens put them a cut above others.

These are class samples from her second session in the RainbowBlend series. She turns well mixed Skinner blends into design elements that stand on their own.
