The secret life of pencils
June 20th
Looks like I’m not the only one who’s grown irrationally fond of Rhodia pencils. Blogger Michelle Krell Kydd recently posted her own ode to the quirky orange writing utensils: “a pencil for the senses,” as she put it.
As a side note, Michelle mentioned that she thinks “deleted words and phrases from my computer documents are sent to a hidden folder and rearranged to tell a tale I will be held accountable for in the future.” Oddly enough, a friend of mine, an artist, created a computer program that did just that for a piece he made last year—appropriately titled “Lost Words.”
Happy scribbling!

Thanks for mentioning my blog, Glass Petal Smoke. Who would have thought that a Rhodia could function like a conductor’s baton and lead the way to a cool work of art like Lost Words? Makes me love my Rhodia even more.
