The #2 Pencil


About 4 X 3"
My old camera broke recently, new one not yet set up, so I haven't been able to photo recent work.
 This is a photo of a little back-to-school gift that I made for a friend a few months ago.
I benefit so much from technology, cameras & computers, all silver & electronic & metal, 
BUT~ the direct tools of the pencil, ink pen & paint brush are still my technology of choice. 

The #2 pencil was my first drawing friend when I was a child. 
I posted a similar pencil drawing last year, but the thing is,
I never get tired of those golden, pink-tipped, wooden, sharpened #2's.

  2. There will always be a place in my heart for the No. 2 pencil. I use them to do crossword puzzles, and so much more. They don't run out of batteries, and when you drop them, they don't break. (Well, if they do, you can usually still use them...)

  3. I sometimes think about the days when I did not have a computer. You have the answer for your needs during a computer or camera blackout. Reach for a pencil, paints or a brush or all three. Do like the composition of your pencils! -- barbara
