Pencil Art


What can you do with a pencil? Ricky had sent me these images of an artist that carves the lead tip of a pencil into teeny, tiny objects.


A whole alphabet
tools
Who does this and how?!


Well, it took Connor about 2 minutes after he saw this to get out some whittling materials and get to work...


There was much trial and error at first with his little creations breaking off. I kept hearing "Ugggh!!! I'm done!" But he kept going until he was successful.


And carved out his initials in the tips of three pencils. How about that?!


And a bonus of a partial lead mustache to boot.
