I just spent a few minutes considering how long might it take to use up a pencil?
I think I have had this one since grade school.

Love the smell of a newly sharpened pencil.
My man sometimes hand sharpens my pencils, such a nice surprise on my work table.
I love those big old waxy black pencils too…serious marks
Ha. Love that you saw those as eyes! And your jungle table 🙂
I think it would depend on how much said pencil was used, how frequently…like that. I have a pencil that is about 1 inch big…also had since grade school, when those kinds of things become treasures 🙂
I love that your eyes spotted all THOSE eyes…W👁W
Is that a Money plant? Ours has delighted us by flowering every Winter since 2020.
Sun here too…YAY. Cold wind though. Made ‘orange’ soup ready to warm us up tonight 🥕🍠 and squash!
So many pencils and crayons here 🙂
Have a lovely Sunday

I have some old sketching pencils I used down to about half inch … still can’t throw them away 😁
Maybe now I could attach them to cloth as a button type toggle.

Sharpening pencils is such a ritual for me.
the joys of shadow play! eye see a big school of fish… oooooooh, and a worn, wooden weaving shuttle in the top pic?
Yup, a shuttle.
The night may have a thousand eyes, but it has nothing on your basketful of eyes. Wonderful.
Was a great surprise. Soul-o usually sleeps in there so he blocks the light . He was upstairs watching the birdfeeder.

Well I plan to use up my pencils, so lots of drawing in my days…
All the pieces of light are wonder and hope seeds to me.
I enjoy your sensitivity.
Thank you to share so much artist view!

Oh they do look like seeds but eyes can be like seeds…
Sun and shadows; wonderful visuals!
nothing like the magic of light and dark

What a lovely memory.

Ha! Maybe, without points tho…
😁 Good idea!
Is that pencil from Woolworths? I still miss that good ‘ol “five & dime.”
I see a beast carrying the sun on its tail. Summer portend.
Could be, oh, I remember when it closed…used to get my muslun there.
A Chewed end pencil, my mother’s pencils, pencil with a bit of an eraser at the top, one inch pencil bits…are a bit like old photographs…
They always get lost in the pencil jar, too short to see.
All those eyes looking up. What wonders to see… 🙂
A bit of overload…😂
Grade school! Wow. I am going to try my hand using herbal inks..
I am going to simply try to use up what’s here
