Graphite Objects is an interesting concept to make from art.

They are designed by local artist Agelio Batle. What I like about them is they do not require any kind of sharpening, so that itself is a sustainable practice. It also does not smudge onto your hand when you use it. They're a bit pricey, but if you ever want to give someone a nice graduation gift, this is the way to go.

Olive Branch $36.00

This is the cheapest one of the bunch, but I understand why. It just doesn't require as much skill to make it to look like what it's supposed to be.

Calla Lily $48.00

Calla Lilies are definitely one of my favorite flowers. They're so simple and elegant, which is why I love this piece. I'm sure when you use it, you'll feel a lot more sophisticated.

Asparagus $48.00

Asparaguses are on my list of favorite vegetables. They're like flower buds that you can eat. They also kind of look like paintbrushes, which gives this piece a great meaning.

Quill $42.00

I love design that reverts modernity to antiquity. Whenever I think of quill pens, Benjamin Franklin pops up. It's so prim and proper, except this requires no ink.

Carrot $56.00

If I had to choose a vegetable to be a writing utensil, a carrot would be perfect. It's pointed, so it'll only get dull when you don't slant it. There's a reason why it's so expensive; it's the best investment.

Pea Pod $48.00

Pea pods are just cute in general. Actually, this is my favorite from the whole collection. The design is so simple, yet so elaborate with the little peas popping out.
