This was my entry to the Advanced beautiful pen contest. For years, my father has been asking me to watch the movie, but for many reasons I wasn't able to. Last year, I sat down with my kids and watched it and became my son's favorite movie for a few months.

When I sat down to go through the design stage, I thought it would go well on a gold Zen. As for the woods, I wanted to use burls on both pieces to give it something extra and I had some black locust burl and blue dyed box elder. Looking back on the piece, I should have added additional details to truly reflect a minion. My next attempt will be a double closed end.

Great pen! LOVE the creativity! Beautiful finish! When you mentioned the Despicable Me movie in the contest description, I saw the minion right away! Thank you for sharing the story!
