Made a wooden grip for my Pentax K1000 out of colored pencils

Hey everyone, I thought there may be some interest in sharing this here.

After getting inspired by the Pentax KP custom with a wooden grip that was shown off recently, and then watching some viral videos about making things from colored pencils, I decided to give it a go but with a camera grip.

I realize not everyone is gonna jive with the style, but I think it looks pretty cool.

Here are some pics of a the process, and there's a video at the end with more details.

What do you think?

that is so creative!

I love it. Very cool and artsy

Whether or not folks "jive with the style", no-one could deny your creativity and talent. Nice work, both on the grip and video!

How does it attach to the K1000 body?

Can you make one for the KP? 😀

Go into business and rip folks off a bundle, or do the same and be kind to people. Looks superb.

How cool!
I would love one for my silver KP.

Okay, put me down in the "not everyone" category, but your creativity and the video are freakin' awesome. Well done!

That's what I was trying to get across in my original reply... but you said it much better

Ingenious. Retouch your negatives simply by handling your camera!
