What on earth have I created?

[handmadekrafts]

I was going through my pen blank box and I had a lot of off cuts left over. So I glued them together to create this monster ?

[Midnightlunchbox]

That's cool, it's like Frankenpen!

 

[Neil Lawton]

Techno Sausages?

Well done Jamie, but not for me, I'm afraid.

 

[donwatson]

[handmadekrafts]

Thank you all for your comments. I must agree its a bit like marmite. It was fun trying something new and a great way to recycle

 

[wm460]

very colourful, looks great.

 

[bassethound]

Nicely done indeed, I suppose a few drops in my eyes will help now

 

[Bill Mooney]

Nowt wrong with the idea, I always do it with my crop ends but wait till I have enough crop ends so I can pick colours that blend together. This way I can have a colourful pen that is not an assault on the eyes. It's very nicely turned & finished.

Disgusting.

What on earth have I created?

I did ask myself that when I saw this.
What on this earth have you created?
Stick in a drawer and look at it every month to remind you of what not to do ever again init?

MAKE IT GO AWAY DAD.

A good bit of segmenting with very good joints well turned and finished I remember seeing one of these that Bill made and it looked good the only difference is bill matched his bits up so don't give up on the idea just save more bits for a good match up good luck with your next one I sometimes save the bits for centre bands on wooden pens

 

[Les ELm]

Interesting.

I appreciate the idea and the segmenting looks fine but the shape does nothing for me and the colours just jar. Just my opinion.

I mentioned one time I was asked what was my wifes favourite colour well after64 yrs yes I was wrong telling me never to try to tell what colours or combinations appeal to others. Having a look every day on the road and in ads etc twould be a brave person to assume an ideal colour or combination. With pens put it out there never comment listen and be amazed the answers will confound us.
