Wow, Stan! This is fantastic. Right up my alley of graphic design elements. I love everything about it. #2176164Janet Williams December 12, 2005 0
Fantastic work Stan. I love the way it is nicely off centre, not perfectly symmetrical etc. Really colourful and well-thought-out image. Nice new pencils, too! #2176166Robyn Mackenzie December 12, 2005 0
Wonderful, Stan! LOVE those colours, and your composition. #2176198Darryl Wilkinson December 12, 2005 0
I can sit here and stare at this wonderfully perfected image for sometime, Stan! This is just so creatively executed! Awesome job... SUPERB work!!! #2176216Stanley J. Contrades December 12, 2005 0
I think it took longer to "sharpen" the pencils than place them in the circles (LOL)! Although the boxes said the pencils were presharpened, their tips were not long enough :-)! Then, too, thanks to Rob as he has always inspired some "colorful" ideas along the way as well :-)!Paul E. Earl December 12, 2005 0

Candice, Carla, Goshka, Daniel, Kaye, Janine, Linda, Stanley S., Marilyn, and Cathy, Thank You, and I do appreciate all of your very generous comments! It really doesn't take that long to set this up, and you just have to remember how the pencils are placed alternately. Once that's done then you can adjust the spacing between the ends of the pencils and they pretty much fall in place.Mary K. Robison December 13, 2005 0
Vibrant colors, perfectly arranged...a graphic gem, Stan! #2180326Judy S. Fung December 13, 2005 0
