I agree the PITH(Pen In The Hat) is a great way to get a pen out. If anyone feels they are to new to turning to particpate, I will gladly be there there partner. I was in the last PITH and had a great time and got a 1st edition segmented pen from fireangels. I started doing some segments after getting one in the mail. It helps you be creative and search for new and cooler materials to work with.
