Cutting and Slicing

Cutting and Slicing
Taken for the latest challenge in the Macro Dreamns Challenges group: Cutting and Slicing.

A bit "outside the box" but I think it fits the challenge, the blade on the pencil sharper cuts the end of the pencil producing slices of wood.

Good to hear it Isabel...........I like to try some different things occasionally. I'm very glad it pleases you but a bit sad to hear you're still feeling down, but that is perfectly understandable :-)

Hang in there.....................

Definitely cutting and slicing, a fabulous macro! I especially like the red-pink tones and the bits of wood chip clinging to the sharpener.

Glad to hear you like this one Gudrun.............I could only find a red pencil sharper, so that meant I had to find a red pencil and some red(ish) background card as well. Thanks for your lovely comments.
