It is amazing to see it up close. Many people thought it wasn't real. Especially the two pencil ends chained together, each link in the chain hand carved from the very graphite that made up the pencil. Amazing craftsmanship.DThompson55https://www.blogger.com/profile/09904538393009916708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-79559473494722868882010-09-18T22:47:17.470-04:002010-09-18T22:47:17.470-04:00My pen Name says what's the point, surely the ...My pen Name says what's the point, surely the point is the charm the patience and the challenge.

I remember years ago another artist who did paintings on the head of a pin, like a flag with all 50 stars (fill in your own pinhead jokes here________).
