Oh my, these are beautiful. I LOVE "Curve", and "Endless" is a beautiful eye-catcher. Did you alter the colours in the "Collect" one, or were the other pencils grey to begin with? Great pictures!

Thank you :) Curve is one my own favourites.

I used focal b&w on Google's free Picasa software to grey-scale all but the pink end of the one pencil. That's a really lazy way of doing it, and I didn't intend to use the finished product on here, but I ended up liking the effect.

These are great - sqare really grabs the eye and curve is lovely. Hook is a nice interpretation too,

Thank you!
I have no idea what hook *is*, but it's hook shaped, lol.

Omg wow. Again, these are amazing photos. *claps*

Thank you! *bows* ;)

Beautiful pictures as always. Endless and curve are breathtaking, very elegant photos. Square is fantastic, like Cat63 said, it just grabs the eye! I like your penguin pencils!!

Thank you... Curve is one of the marvellous trees on Hartlebury Common; that place just has a wealth of shapes and textures to capture.

If you do insist on getting a job, make sure it doesn't interfere with your walks in the enchanting Hartlebury Common, that place is a gold mine, photographically speaking.

Gosh, 'endless' is staggeringly beautiful! It made me catch my breath I was so taken aback by its beauty. Wow! It's made me rather incoherent, I'm afraid. Curve is a brilliant shot; never would have seen it myself - you really have a great eye for this.

I have never heard of Penguin markers or cups but will be investigating web pages SOON. I want [if available] Oscar Wilde and James Joyce and D.H. Lawrence and about two dozen others. What cool things to collect and a really nice photo as well.

trishtrash August 11 2008, 21:15:00 UTC

Wow, thank you... incoherence is a major compliment :) I knew the shape of Endless was wonderful when I saw the tree, and I played with it for a while before getting the right tint... not quite sepia, not quite B&W. I'm pleased with it, but in a sort of 'well, nature made it, I just saw it' kind of way.

I have One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Pride and Prejudice mugs... they do all different ones, plus the pencils and there was a deck of playing cards released for their 60th 'birthday'. I don't know if they're still available, but they've nearly always got something nifty.

I went to the Penguin website and discovered that I'd probably have to mortgage my children to get all of the things that I want but that they have plenty of cool items. I love the pencils, the mugs, the London Underground paraphenalia [I KNOW that can't be spelled right!], and tons of other things.

And your photo of endless IS that beautiful!
