Wednesday Whim - Pencil Shaving Art

If drawing on a minuscule scale hasn't blown you away (like here or here) then how about using the discarded shavings from a pencil to create art? That's what teacher by day, artist by night Meghan Maconochie is doing. She began a 365-day Instagram project where she uses hand-sharpened pencil shavings as a medium and creates various art works (animals, pop art, food, celebrities, etc.) layered on card or paper. Some are completed as quickly as 10 minutes and others take hours to create. For more of her amazing creations, check out her IG!
