Our colored pencils for our family sketchbook were pretty dull, which means they are being used A LOT. I am so glad. True and Brave can sit for long whiles just coloring (and fighting about who gets to color on which page), but mostly coloring.
The task of the day: sharpen them pencils.
When we were done, the shavings were so pretty that I couldn’t resist giving them their own photo shoot, there is so much beauty in simple things…
The pencils are now ready to go…
See you on Monday!

Fantastic! You’re so right about the mundane being pretty, though I think you have to credit the photographer too 🙂

I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I love your pencil shaving photos!! I can see them framed and displayed!!! It’s so great that the girls are drawing so much too!
Have been reading your blog just this morning. Lovely things! You know, when I was a kid we used to wood-glue the shavings from coloured pencils onto paper to make pictures and patterns. So it was a really nostalgic post for me.
