The June 2019 Zen Magnets contest is a pen holder utility contest. What’s a pen holder? Something on a desk that holds pens and keeps things organized. Some of us may benefit from them. Use as many magnets as you need, any brand accepted, just make sure they’re all 5mm spheres, and that your construction can hold pens, and possibly oth...

What do you think?
What are people's thoughts on agreeing on a limit to the number of similar photos of the same work?
I recently felt a bit guilty for posting four pictures of the same piece, justifying it to myself because the views from different angles were very different, which seemed quite interesting.

It's a magnet sphere party, and Everybody is invited! All brands, sizes, st...
