Description
This little pencil sharpener takes the form of a white rabbit peeping out of an orange carrot, its two front paws resting over the rim as though it has just popped up to say hello. The rabbit has upright ears, rosy pink cheeks and eyes squeezed tight shut, while the carrot carries a sprig of green leaves at its side and a couple of pressed lines down its front. It is small enough to sit in the palm of your hand, standing 4.1cm tall, 3.4cm wide and 3.2cm from front to back, so it slips easily into a pencil case without taking up much room.
We think it belongs wherever pencils get used: on a desk at home, in a pencil case for school or college, beside a sketchbook or on a craft table. It works with standard size pencils, so the ordinary pencils most of us keep in a drawer will fit the sharpening hole in the base of the carrot. Because the rabbit sits upright in its carrot, it stands happily on a shelf or desk between uses and adds a cheerful spot of colour to a workspace. Anyone who loves rabbits, carrots or simply a bit of fun in their stationery will find it hard to resist.
It is made from plastics and metal and weighs next to nothing, so it adds no bulk to a bag or pencil case. For tidy sharpening, hold it over a bin and brush away any shavings after use; when the outside needs a freshen up, a soft damp cloth is all it takes. Wipe it dry afterwards and it is ready for the next pencil. Tuck it into a pencil case with a handful of fresh pencils, or give it on its own as a cheerful little gift for someone who gets through a lot of sketching and note taking.
