wild fennel coloured pencils

Show some love to that sad, neglected fennel plant up the back of your veggie patch – turns out it's a bit of a wonder herb. Besides improving eyesight, warding off creepy crawlies and dancing merrily on your tongue when paired with orange in a salad, it also makes for some perfectly sweet and rustic coloured pencils.

Handmade in southern USA by Night Owl Paper Goods, these Wild Sweet Fennel pencils come in six colours and will make your workspace smell like a bag of licorice allsorts. The clever lot have also added a new range of Grape Vine Twig pencils, made from dried Sonoma Californian wine vines. Creative, huh?
