You keep the Minnesota Chapter in the spotlight.
Lots of skill here and plenty of design through the whole contest.

Congratulations to all the winners - those are some awesome pens.

Thanks to Bob for running this great contest & special thanks to all the prize donors!!
 
Thank you for the comments. Congratulations to Dave, Greg, and Karl. This contest was filled with excellent entries. Everyone brought their top game. Thank you for the votes.

Thank you, Bob for chairing the contest, and for donating the travel mugs. Thank you, prize donors for supporting the BASH. The glue package will definately come in handy for this kind of work.

I saw the comments asking for details about process, and I received some PMs asking questions about technique. I'll commit to a write-up soon. I'm on the road, and don't have a steady connection.
 
Congrats as well to the whole crew submitting ball point pens. Some Great Work and creativity in my opinion. It has spurred some ideas that I want to try.
