They're a little smaller than a pink pearl and they have a piece of thin cardboard around them when you take them out of the package. I forgot to find out what they were when I went home last night.


Those could be a bunch of things...
Staedler makes small erasers like those, with the cardboard box around most of it....and a couple of other brands, too.

I usually pick up one and cut it in thirds, or even sixths (three stamps to a side, cut lengthwise for six) and make HH's out of them.

Who says you have to limit detail, though? :D

OH...Those erasures. When you said for mechanical pencils I thought you were talking about the little round ones that actually go in the pencil under the cap thingy. Those are are only about 1/8" diameter, that's why I asked how the heck do you carve it. :) I was about to kneel and bow to your carving skills.

That is what I was thinking too. I was about to abandon all hope of improving my carving skills to match with your American standards.
