Pencil shaving 'Carnations' by darrenboyj

Pencil shaving 'Carnations'

I had this idea for today's January word but couldn't execute it for lack of a pencil sharpener!
I think it's worked out ok and to me they do look a little like carnations.
Lovely idea - it worked!!

What a great idea! I toyed with the thought of creating a collage of countries like germany and japan surrounded by car manufacturers' logos for a while yesterday...

Oh this is so creative! I can certainly see the flower here. Well done.

Love the lines and texture, and the edging of color really does bring thoughts of carnations. I was stumped, but this is a very playful interpretation.
