I'm back, I justlooked at your post again ... I cannot imagine gluing those pencils together ... I'm afraid they'd just be a pile of pencils! :) Jenn

helenabelle said...

At first glance I thought I was looking at some sort of hybrid sunflower!! That is an amazing work of art and yes the blue certainly does set it off. :) Wonder how all those pencil tips (I am assuming it is just the tips)stay together??
Thanks for posting and sharing it, just great.
Have a wonderful week.

Morning, Most Blue One! Oh, now this is actually a little creepy looking. I thought it was one of the creatures from the sea for a moment! Someone just has too much time on their hands I think! Hope you're doing well and will come to my party Friday.
Be a sweetie,

Kim @ Savvy Southern Style said...

Good morning Sally, I accidentally posted the wrong post the first time if you would please remove it. #57 is the wrong one. It had my old url link in the space. Love the flower made from pencils. Now that took a lot of time and thought.

Yes, the blue does set it off nicely. I wouldn't want to fall on that, though, with all those other pointed ends sticking up!!

LV said...

The pencil arrangement is certainly different and interesting. I never saw anything like that. Someone spent a lot of time on it.

Jeanne said...

Hi Sally, I have wanted to call you this week and it has flown by. I am not playing bridge this week but I have been outside most of the day planting some flowers. I just came in after just planting two. I have 3 more to go for this project. Mostly I had to dig out weeds. Ugh! That is the hardest job.

Anyway, I can say hello on your blog and tell you that I posted something you might like to see. Come over if you have a moment.

I hope you are feeling well today.
Will you be home in the morning?

Hugs, Jeanne

sara said...

Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) said...

This is great Miss Sally. I spent over thirty years in the classroom and have seen many things done with pencils but oh my gosh this is amazing! I love it!

Thanks and have a beautiful 'Blue Monday' sweetie!!!

The Quintessential Magpie said...

Sally!

Just dropping in to say, "HI" and that I miss you. Life has been a wild ride of late, and I'm going to be traveling home today after being down here for various things. I hope this note finds you doing better. BTW, I have a surprise for you, and I've got to get it to you. I don't know when I will be back down, but when I come, I would love to drive over and see you if that would be okay. It might be the first of June (unless we get back for Cecelia's recital).

Love those pencils. I used to read a blog that showcased pencil art. People can do some amazing things, can't they?

Love you...

XO,

Sheila :-)
