The art of gleaning extends far and wide, and now with pencils (and capless ballpens) thrown away before their time is up - why not give them another chance?
Simply wrap up, roll over each one a colorful, pliant paper from handouts and color magazines (just like the photos shown here), and there you have made a beautiful piece of art!
Pencil stubs once more fit for writing - oh, how precious they are to you their savior; they have defied the category of waste for the duration of their second life;
Like scabbards you sheath an unassuming dagger, saving someone from getting stabbed on the skin or in the eye, in a simple act of "prevention by protection" principle;
Why didn't the manufacturer think of that? To provide safety caps to pencils before they reach the market, to warn of danger to school kids, and grownups too?
There is meaning in small things, we do - a bit of economy, a little ingenuity, a simple expression of beauty, a little act of goodness - and a little prayer.~
