Around the middle of May, Eagle sent me an e-mail with the subject line "The next step(sinewave)". The message, in typical Eagle fashion was concise
Try it in plexiglass.
That ought to keep you busy for a while
The attached image was this one, a pen I'm sure most of you are familar with "Copper Swirl".
I had no idea how he did it, and to be quite honest I still don't. But the idea was planted and one day I saw a pen that Gerry posted on the IAP and it gave me an idea as to how I might make an attempt at Copper Swirl. When the competition started I approached Gerry about doing a collaboration and he agreed.
Six blanks later, after trying every adhesive know to mankind, this was the best I could come up with:
Well On Friday I had a "Eureka" moment and tried something new. I turned the blank round today and got this
The blank is going to Montana first thing Monday morning via Express mail. The sad part of the story is that unless the powers that be grant an extension to the deadline, this blank is not going to make it to Montana in time for Gerry to do his part of the collaboration before the competition deadline
Any chance of extending the deadline a couple of days?
