i've always loved crayons. crayolas in particular. the best schools years were the ones that started with a brand new yellow box filled with waxy, bright, crayons. i did my best to use my crayons evenly, rotating them so that they would stay pointy for as long as possible.

to be honest, i think this old sesame street clip is what started my whole crayon love affair. this was by far my favorite sesame street video and i love it now just as much as i did when i was six.
i believe coloring (with crayons especially) is good for the soul. next time you're having a bad day, grab a box of crayons and a coloring book and scribble away. and please do color outside the lines if you'd like :)
Those carved crayons are amazing! And I remember that Sesame Street video too... Thanks so much for the inclusion. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw carved crayons at the Williams College Museum of Art last week and thought they were amazing! (They're from the same artist: http://wcma.williams.edu/?attachment_id=1094)
