To pick up some small piles of dust and pencil shavings from the studio floor, a shovel is an essential item, but sometimes none can be found. In this case a sheet of card or paper can be deployed, but it's not a great solution until the introduction of the Shovel Sketch-Pad.

The Shovel Sketch-Pad is a sketch book that takes the form of light-weight card sheets, each of which can be torn off and used as a simple shovel. This is because two of the sides and the back of each of the sheets are pre-scored so that they easily fold over to make into a basic shovel shape.

Not a simple shovel, but a complex shovel... http://www.giladori...om/PG_Vehicles.html

sortof neat, but what [21] said. You might consider mounting the whisk/dustpan flush on the underside of a table where it isn't noticeable yet readily available.

The point is that Shovel Sketch-Pad is needed when there is no conventional shovel available....time to give up here for a while methinks.

You could make the studio floor a grating, so the dust and pencil shavings fall through.

Steady on, [bigsleep]! We don't want to get all new-fangled and contraptionous here!
Seriously tho', a standard A4 printer sheet, with the application of some quick origami, will suffice. If you're REALLY fast, you can roll up a second sheet, attack one end with the scissors, and you have a small broom too.

The problem here is the premise that piles of dust and pencil shavings need to be removed from the floor.
