Graphite Pencil and Eraser Bracelet is an unusual wood bracelet featuring #2 Pencils with white erasers. The erasers and a section of a #2 pencils is cast into a resin block. This block goes to a wood lathe to become this unique bracelet and bangle. Previously, I would make this style bangle with color pencils. These have become my signature pieces and are available in my store. This is a transition to another common material, the ubiquitous lead pencil for making jewelry.
Process
This Bracelet features a cross-section of graphite pencils and erasers. I fabricate the pencil sections from an epoxy resin block. The white erasers with the silver metal barrels that hold the erasers. Together with the black lead pencil color offers a wonderful contrast in colors. A clear protective resin coating highlights and protects this bangle. The size of this bracelet is approximately 2 1/2 inch diameter on the inside and 3 1/2 inches outside dimension.
This is a great conversation piece and will get attention when worn with any outfit. Your friends will not be able to identify the pencil components of the bracelet and will respond with a WOW when you tell them they are pencils.
