I have eight thousand pencils
Mar. 3rd, 2019 10:33 pmAnd yet I crave more.
I'm not even that good of an artist but I was still cursed by a wicked fairy at my christening (when I was thirteen, mom's request upon hearing I was an atheist and I am nothing if not obliging) to crave all the art supplies.
72 pencils for 20 dollars canadian! That's 10 cents American! I can't beat that!
I have so many pencils already.
It occurs to me I should mention these are coloured pencils, not like a really excessive amount of hbs.
That was my other curse, from the other wicked fairy, to crave office supplies.
There were no good fairies.
I have a lot of enemies in the magic kingdom.
EDIT: after making this post, I found a box of 132 prismacolours on a shelf that when I pulled free, a bunch of hb pencils fell on me. This is not a joke.

It's 'fun' to sort 132 pencils into cups by spectrum when the lights are yellow and one's burnt out and it's two am.
