A Pencil is a pencil … unless you’ve got a sharp knife …
…and LOTS of spare time. Then you might just come up with some of these imaginative items ...
A colorful alphabet … A to Z carved from lead.
…or a hanging link one like this …complete with the date and place of origin. Was it 1987 … or 1887?
…or how about intertwining hearts, obviously lovingly carved by a person with a romantic bent…
… who might also have carved this one !
Or my favorite … proving that beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Ginnie, did someone you know do these - so intricate and imaginative as well.
I love it Ginnie,the last one is my favorite. I would never have imagined someone could do all of that with pencils. Love Di ♥
Isn't it almost unbelievable (were it not before our eyes) what the artist can conceive of?!!
Who knew pencils had such character?
Totally cool! What patience!
But I will just keep mine for drawing.
Lovely creativity with pencils. Very interesting. There was a time when I was young in school when pencils played a great role in my life. But now I hardly use pencils. Ball point pens have taken priority. Even ball point pen I hardly use. Why, I hardly write. I type on the computer and only sometimes I use a ball point.
This reminds me that we hardly write letters with pen or pencils these days. Internet has made everything easy. How time has changed our life styles. I wonder if cursive writing is still being practiced. I remember we used to get marks for good hand writing. I do not know if it is still prevalent now.
I am amazed at the beautiful creations with pencils.
Best wishes,
Joseph
Wow!! You come up with the most interesting perspective. Dianne
Those are incredible. I don't see how anyone does this--with a magnifying loop and a very sharp small knife, I guess.
