One thing for sure, I love your treatment on this! I really would love to see the original. #189902Karen Engelbreth November 20, 2004

Great work, Stan!! At first I thought they were surf boards...LOL..so they can only be a Pen or a Paper Clip...guessing more on the Pen since it's an everyday office piece..Nonetheless, I love the colors- black and blue! Creative, indeed!! #927220Judith G. Secco November 20, 2004
