pink erasers

A CLOSER LOOK AT ERASER TOPS:

What is not to love about that deliciously pink eraser that tops one of my favourite art supplies, the pencil?

Here is an illustration showing a collection of pencil eraser tops in various stages of use. I had a lot of fun drawing the wonky pink shapes and then covering the perfectly pink erasers with the grey graphite smudges. It’s a nice reminder that there is beauty in your mistakes. It’s how we learn! This illustration also serves as a reminder for me to stop and take a closer look at the little things in life. It’s nice to note the differences.

At the moment, I find myself drawn to these pencils. Sadly they are not reusable and I will eventually work thru them and my conscious won’t let me reorder a box, but I am enjoying them while I have them and not letting them go to waste. Seeing them all aligned in a row is what inspired me to take a closer look at eraser tops. I oftentimes use up the eraser before the lead which is frustrating to be honest. It seems like shorter pencils need to be made or longer erasers are needed. I guess there is physics involved that prevents my dream pencil from coming true.

Who is ready for autumn? Not me! I feel like I’ve barely had a summer. It’s been a cool summer here in the Netherlands, and I am craving more sun and heat! But I think a lot of the northern hemisphere is already turning towards fall. I&rs
I just dropped my oldest off at college. My heart is breaking, but I’m trying to find the good parts about her moving out of the nest. One really fun thing we’ve done together this week is thrifting for housewares and setting up a home.
This coordinate pattern is inspired by corn on the cob. Can you see it? 🤣 🌽 One of my favorite summer treats is freshly grilled corn on the cob slathered in butter and salt and pepper. Yum. : #surfacepatterndesign #PatternMagic #SurfacePatternDes
