« before | after »  #12 | pencil shavings | Mar 30, 2004



in dublin they call it a parer or a sharpener. in waterford it's a topper. because it's used to top pencils of course! but waterford children will often say they want to 'topper' their pencil, in which case they'll ask for a loan of your topperer.

the photo is not of any of these things. it's of pencil shavings.
