Why the Pencil Is Perfect

Since seeing Caroline Weaver’s Instagram Stories earlier this week, where she painstakingly and creatively documented the origins of her New York pencil store CW Pencil Enterprise, I’ve been meaning to make time to check out her TED Talk on pencils (which she mentioned in her stories). It’s a quick 3 min video on not just the perfection of pencils, but also their history. Check it out below and if you’re feeling extra inquisitive about pencils, don’t forget to take the How Much do You Really Know the Pencil quiz.

For more info on CW Pencil Enterprise visit her site.  And if you’re in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and in the market for some nice new pencils, check out Archer Paper Goods in Deep Ellum. They have a nice selection that I think you might appreciate!
