Special Pen

[Bobby McCarley]

Another pen casting with Liquid Diamonds resin and watch parts. This is a very special pen, as the parts came from the watch that belonged to my Father who passed away on Sept 10 1972 at 4:20 pm. I incorporated these details in laying out the parts for casting. The time on the watch is set to 4:20 and the date is set on the 10th. The watch had stopped working years ago and I think this a fitting way to make use of the watch and to have something that can be used and passed from generation to generation.

Excellent workmanship with a serious amount of thought and care in the design. Nicely done.

Thanks for all of the comments, they are appreciated. This is something I have been wanting to do for quite some time. I was only 17 when my Mother passed and 19 when my Father passed and as with most kids growing up, I did not take the time to "listen" to what our parents, grandparents, elders at that time were telling us, teaching us or showing us how to be better and responsible individuals. I would say to anyone whose parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles that are still living, take a moment to set down with them, talk to them, "listen" to them, learn from them before it is too late. You might be surprised at what you could learn from them. I would give anything to be able to do that now.
