36 Pencil Bowl DIY (black connector piece)

Description

36 Pencil Bowl is a tribute to the lovely hexagonal color pencil - but it's also representative of an internet-friendly production model: combining simple, locally available materials with custom designed parts.

This version does not include pencils. Combine the connector piece with a set of 36 hexagonal pencils of about 7.0 mm cross section (measured at the smallest diameter). These sets are available around the world from department stores and art stores. Pencil sets that fit are Stabilo Aquacolor 1600 and Caran d’Ache Prismalo I; I’ve heard that in the US, Prismacolor Verithin Colored Pencils (available from Amazon) work well.

(Available in black and white polyamide, with or without pencils - check my shop for all the versions.)
