Handwriting Helper

I used to surf webs of tech and design like yanko designs. They have some mad creations that make me laugh, but there're smart designs too. Some time ago, I read a post about an accessory for the frequent writer that makes the job a bit lighter. I liked so much but I didn't know what material use in order to build one. At least, until I met Sugru!

The design is called "Emma" and his designer is Gyu-Ryung Park. This product protects your fingers of those small calluses and helps the writing with an ergonomic position. This uncommon accessory reduces hand fatigue and prevents blood circulation problems in your fingers. It can also be used as a trainer for kids and new writers in order to improve their writing performance.  For more info, click the link bellow.

What happens when you sharpen it?

As you can see in step 3, you can always extract the pencil and put in again as many times as you want. You can change the pencil with a pen too.

It looks like it would make writing more comfortable, nice.

You can try it and you see the results by yourself. I really expected it could be worst, but I highly recommend it.

That looks great! I learned how to write the wrong way, well I feel like it's too late for me now. I think that adding more of the "helper" mold, somewhere for your thumb and such would be nice too. It seems like a great tool though.

Thanks, I added a tip in the second step so as to improve the place where the thumb and the index finger are. I did it when I was making the project but I hadn't been realised I didn't write it until you post this comment. Thanks for it!
