  3. Wow! What can you say???
    For the past month in work I haven't had time to sharpen my pencil let alone carve it!
    I wonder what you use to carve something so small and intricate?

  12. Helsie - I came across the blog with the pencil sculpture mentioned in a French magazine called Marie Claire Idees which I get when I can find it as it is full of lovely crafty ideas. I am a lurker and it occasionally has some interesting ideas as you can see! Yes I do enjoy your little glimpses of your home country and thanks for changing my mind!!
