If these words describe you, then this contest is right up your alley!
In addition to the Universal Contest Rules, the rules for this contest are:
You will have only one (1) (not 2) (uno) week to submit your entry starting on Monday the 8th of February and ending on Sunday the 14th (edited to correct the date) of February 2016. That is right! You ONLY HAVE ONE WEEK to make and enter your pen into this (THE BEST) contest. So you will need to GET IT DONE!
Officially it will start whenever I get around to posting the specific DETAILS (listed below) sometime during the morning on Monday the 8th(probably around 9 A.M. Eastern Time). It will end on Sunday night the 14th (edited to correct date) at midnight – based on the International Date Line, so everyone can have the full use of the weekend to finish up this speedy project.
The DETAILS: For this contest each person must make a pen using:
1) A cigar pen kit for the components.
This kind of cigar:
Not this kind of cigar:
2) It must be a segmented blank with these contents:
a. some sort of wood (plain, spalted, colored, stained, burl, ply, whatever – but this piece does not count as one of the "colors" below)
b. Three (3) (not dos) (tres) separate pieces in three different colors from this list of common colors: Red, Yellow, Orange, Blue, Purple, Green, White or Black. These 3 pieces/colors can be either wood or resin. Shades of colors are fine, but they must be 3 different colors (not 3 shades of blue). Casted mixed colors (like a blue and green swirl) in the blank will not be allowed they must be 3 separate color segments. These 3 colors are in addition to the wood in item a. above. EDIT/Clarification as of 11:00 AM 2/8- the color of the wood in item a. above CAN be repeated in item b. however, it cannot be the same material (if you use an orange wood for item a. you can you something orange for item b., BUT it cannot be the same item - you can't use 2 pieces of Osage Orange for both a. and b.)
c. Some type of other material needs to be used in the segmented blank. Some examples of what I mean by "other" are: a large piece of aluminum, some brass, a thin slice from a pop can, guitar pickguard, a piece of a credit card, a plastic pop bottle cap, a slice of leather, poly clay, deer antler, a piece of D.Oliver's AARP card, most any type of plastic, Corian, etc.. If you are unsure of the material you have in mind please PM me or post in this thread.
To sum it up, there must be 5 different things represented in the blank: wood, 3 separate colors, and some other material (like metal or plastic or something other than a wood or acrylic blank).
Rules Clarification (added 2/11 8:00AM Eastern) - The pen must contain all 5 elements listed above, it is not restricted to "just" 5 pieces. As an example - the "other material" can be used more than once in the pen. If you use a slice of a pop can for the "other" material, you may use multiple slices of the pop can.
3) If your pen does not contain all of the items required above we will encourage you to enter it into one of the other contests!
The Rules:
1. This is a pen contest: your entry must be made by you.
2. Only 1 entry per person.
3. Sorry, no modifications to the kit/components.
4. You are allowed up to 3 pictures. The only prop allowed is a simple clear (these are usually made of acrylic) pen stand. The background of the picture should be a solid color. No mirrors, blocks of wood, or other items. The pictures must be uploaded to the link provided in the entry form.
