designs made out of pencil shavings
I had a hobby of collecting pencil shavings.. I had collected a shoe-box full of them and I had no idea what to do with them. Then I bought some sheets of black paper and was struck by the stark contrast the wooden shavings made against black.

I made these long back and framed them.. they're 7 years old :)

    Draw the design of your choice on the sheet of paper.

    Step 2

    Stick the shavings along the drawing with very little glue.

    You may need to cut the shavings as the design requires for eg i had to cut out leaf shaped shaving for this design

  • Step 3

    Let it dry. Frame it. Wooden frames go very well with these.
