Switch Sticky Notes

Yet another clever sticky note design. The staple stationery item becomes even more functional in the form of Switch Notes. This pad of sticky notes has a hole in the middle, just the right size to fix to a traditional light switch. There is even a small lip at the top to store your pen or pencil behind.

No one leaves the house with the lights on (I hope...) so no excuse for not getting things done!

Check it out.

Edible Pen

Edible Pens by Dave Hakkens.
A lot of us chew on our pens constantly, Im sure many will appreciate this!

"The candy which is used doesn’t stick on anything and doesn't melt when it's in your hans. (To get an idea: It has the same texture as candy bracelets.)It contains 22 pieces and is filled with edible ink. The only thing which isn't edible is the small point where you write with. When finished you throw it away or put in in a new re-fill pen."

Miniature Art On The Tip Of Pencils by Dalton Ghetti

Dalton Ghetti creates miniature masterpieces on the tips of pencils. Dalton, who works as a carpenter, has been making his tiny graphite works for about 25 years.

A tiny saw, using both the wood and graphite of a single pencil

Dalton uses three basic tools to make his incredible creations – a razor blade, sewing needle and sculpting knife. He even refuses to use a magnifying glass and has never sold any of his work, only given it away to friends. He said: “I use the sewing needle to make holes or dig into the graphite. I scratch and create lines and turn the graphite around slowly in my hand”.

The longest Dalton has spent on one piece was two and half years on a pencil with interlinking chains.

Dalton hollowed out the centre of the wood, then carved the central column of graphite to create this hanging, linked heart.

Carved from the graphite in a normal pencil: A tiny hammer. 

Carved from the graphite in a normal pencil: A tiny button. 

This carving shows a goblet being held by a hand, all carved from one pencil’s graphite.

Carved from the graphite in a normal pencil: A highly-detailed boot.

Using the eraser end of a pencil, Dalton created a tiny cross sculpture from the internal graphite.
