Well done Derek, at least I got something right this year
for a first, second or n'th attempt there is nothing wrong with that Bob, a very worthy entry into the competition. Its different and I like different
Hmm, I think you're a bit too nice Paul. I certainly can see where it could have been better even though the actual pattern effect was what I planned in my head. I made up a couple of blanks so might have another go.
I wouldn't have entered it tbh but felt I should support Jims' effort in staging the comp.
I voted fir yours Derek as I liked the contrast you achieved with the woods.I did not think that it was bad at all Bob not every thing has to be symmetrical and that pen is certainly different. I went for a very basic design and probably an easy route it just so happened that it paid off. I had never done segmanted work like this before and to start so close to the end of the time to enter I took one very big risk.

I've actually never segmented anything previously not just a pen blank so as I said, learned a lot.
I think Jim needs to be applauded for organising the comp. He made some of us push out of our comfort zone and I'll definitely keep trying whereas before it was just on the "to do one day" list.I was the same, not done much segmenting before, learnt not to use superglue cos of the fumes and that it is a tedious practise to do something as small like a pen so goodness knows how tedious it would be to do a big vase or something.
I thought all pens entered were quite good.

This was my entry, 1st time I've done any segmenting of any type, must admit, if i had seen the quality of the other entries before i posted mine, i probably wouldn't have bothered.
Well done Derek
