Bead Pens-Rubber Grip

[dicrodi]

Can anyone help? I've seen all the bead pens made with metal grips.
Somewhere down in N.C. I purchase another bead artists bead pen. The grip was a rubber material, and I much prefer this to the metal variety. Does anyone have a supplier for these that you would be willing to share? Please post or PM me if you do . Many Thanks Diana:)

I don't know where to buy the pens you are looking for,but offer another alternative. My DH just bought some of that tool dip at Lowes the other day,and when I saw your post a light bulb went off. It comes in different colors. I think it's called magic dip, I can check when I go out to his shop.

Hi Diana, I may be able to help you. Do you know the name of the artist? Was it me perhaps?

Well, SaraSally...if you have arubber grip bead pen source how about just sharing it here?
:)

The source is the easy part, it's just a woodworking kit. The hard part is getting it to fit just right. You have to use cold working tools to make it perfect. I have had many,many beads break in that last tap of the tool. It's rather more complicated than the Bead Pen.

SaraSally- I don't really know-purchased in N.C. at a bead shop I happened to fall over in Raleigh. The rest of pen is metal, but the part your fingers touch is this wonderful soft grip rubber. The pen had a long bead on it with a lizzard on it, I just love the pen and bead and would like to put my beads on this same type of pen , but can't find it in a web search, so if you can help please let me know.

Would making a bead on a hollow mandrel (1/4") fit on this type of pen?

[SaraSally]

Diana, this is my pen, since I have customers in that area, it might be mine. Did it look similar to this? And yes, a larger hollow mandrel works best.
