Encouraging people to build those big figures sells more tape.

to be fair, I think the vision of the contest holders was more along the lines of the lost mold types. HM's geometrical structure was relatively unconventional.

That's true, but they were basing a large part of the score on originality. I guess the judges didn't actually want what they said they wanted.

Sorry HM! You were robbed.

I love Permacel Gaffer's tape. I guess it is now Shurtape.

I think you were robbed too. I like the goldfish one, but it's not in the same class as yours. The other three? you can keep 'em. Where is the originality?

How many rolls did you use for yours? Did you get back more than you put in? (ignoring time and effort)

I used three rolls, so I'm well ahead in the tape department.

It does look like a pretty useful design. That and the scissors will be the handiest.

Though the 6-pack of tape may be useful if there's another off-the-roll contest.

I've entered a Washington Post craft contest. I'm not sure if you can view the entries if you don't have an account. No voting on this one.

I've also begun work on one for this year's Off The Roll contest. I don't know if I'll have the time to finish it. I have til the end of February, but it's ambitious. And the later I enter, the less time for votes.
