While sharpening some colored water pencils, I thought to myself...I ought to be able to do something with all those shavings. I made a card and needed something that would look like dirt, you got it, it was perfect!  I spread a little glue and placed some of the shavings on it and let it dry.  Everyone that I showed it to thought it looked great and would be neat for other things like possibly mountains or other things. ~Submitted by Dawn K.
