The Cray-Bowla

This started off as a clock. Unfortunately I have no idea what I am doing. Using pencils really wasn't what I thought it would be. @Andy Phillip makes it look easy. Boy are his videos deceptive. But the good news is that I finished it. That's something right?

Its so CUTE!! I like this little bowl. It wasnt what you started out making but the pencils knew what they wanted to be and you listened!

LOL I love it. Try dumping all your left over pieces in a mold and do another bowl so you have an unusual set.

[@missmarthafawker]

I love that bowl. I know exactly what I would use it for and where I would use it. Blck and purple with sparkles would be pretty too with the left overs

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

It turned out real nice, Ken! And I'm with you - it would make a cool looking clock. If you have enough cutting height, maybe slice the blank on the band saw?

[@BrianBeamers]

[@MoonpieCreations]

wow, high praise. I appreciate that!

[@RebekkaRN1962]

I agree 👍 with you, I'm not fond of this bowl but I do see a rescue project here. With the shape you turned this bowl into it would still make an awesome wall clock 👍👍😊 Give it a shot & put the clock in the bottom of the bowl & hang it on the wall. Bet it would look great 👍 👌 😉

[@kelvincolemanAnimal]

I love that you always show the crazy stuff you do. It really helps all of us and you always explain how to avoid the problems. Why not cut it in to small pieces had some more small cut up pencils some glitter maybe some really small plastic beads a hand full of colourful paper clips mix it up chuck it in the pressure pot tap it down and see wot comes out then make a nice colourful clock with a couple of dark colourful pencils for hands. Loved the video Ken take care see you again soon 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️

[@margaretzuelke9761]

Hey, we can't always have our projects turn out how we want them to be. Nobody's 100% perfect. If you try it again, maybe you should pour only halfway up the pencils & put weight on the top so they're sure to stay put. Who does your logo animation in the beginning? I've been loving that! ❤️

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hey thanks for the tip. I have been doing my intros since January. Thanks

[@cortlandhunt4721]

I’ve done a ton of these bowls, the pencils are made from Cedar, the “leads” are made from wax. Take out all the black ones because they really bleed when sanding. I sand very little and use epoxy to finish making sure you’ve got about 1/16” covered then sand 800-1000 grit polish with dyi polish. They sell like crazy, but a mess in the shop. 👍🇺🇸

[@staceyritchie7100]

Upon seeing the final result I am pretty sure there are color pencil fanatics out there who's hearts skipped a beat while they did uncannily accurate heart eye emoji imitations and then had to roll their tongues back up into their noggins....😍 Alas, I am not one of those people. 😔 But hey, what do I know? 🤪 Seriously though, it's pretty cool and everyone, even color pencil fans, deserve to meet that special project and fall head-over-heels in love. 🥰

[@beaverc2884]

It still could be turned into a clock, the clock motor could go inside of the bowl and the numbers and arms on the bottom, Don't be so hard on yourself, it's still a nice looking piece. Take care.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I appreciate that. I guess it's just not my type of thing.

@@MoonpieCreations you're welcome 😁

[@richardslade1337]

The fact that you had some challenges getting things the way you want means you tried something new that pushes your abilities. Colored pencil projects are challenging because you have to find the right balance between getting enough pencils in that they wedge eachother in place yet still leave from for resin to get in. Would've been a sweet clock but it's still a sweet bowl.

[@debishipman2761]

Not a big fan of the organized colored pencil bowls. I like when they are just tossed in a bowl with quite a bit of clear resin so you get a lot of see through spots.
