She tells on her website what fascinates her so much about carving this miniature works of art:

One medium that has always intrigued me is the art of carving pencil leads. I’ve always loved carving and sculpting and seeing the tiny works of art created from a such a common item is fascinating! I finally found some time and went to work. I bought some carpenter’s pencils and tried a number of different subjects. Some worked better than others, and some were just a little too hard to get the detail I needed to pull off in such a small space. - Cindy Chinn
