I’ll survive the summer, but I’m gonna have to get me some new pencils this fall, me thinks.
Featured are the pencil shavings I’ve kept for the past two years, for funsies :moomin_happy:

A big box full of pencil shavings, 3 short pencils, and an eraser laying over an open sketchbooks featuring some pencil drawings.

Pencil shavings are good to start the wood stove.

@GustavinoBevilacqua yea I figured we may use them that way, but now I’m quite attached to them :blobhaj_reach: . I kinda want to see it get full XD!

@rek I assume you are aware of pencil extensions? Those make working with short stubs more comfortable.

random picture from the Internet, showing the tip of four pencil extenders, two of which have a short piece of a pencil that's almost used up clipped in

@galaxis wanted to add that this was a good reminder to make one :), think I’ve got bits and pieces I can use.
