Colorful.

This pencil collection started when I was a little girl and just kept growing over time. 
I always carried a set around with me and just loved coloring in my sketchbooks. I would keep travel journals and collect every bit of memorabilia I could....postcards, stamps, tickets, newspaper clippings...my bus passes from NYC? Today (after years of procrastination) I decided to take some studio time to carefully sharpen each one with my paint covered Panasonic awesome pencil sharpener that I have had since the 80's. It was very calming and wonderful walk down memory lane...I even remember where some of these sets come from!!! (ie. Germany- where they know how to truly make artist supplies).
