Art Every Day - Crayons!

Inspired by Tammy, I dug out my crayons and proceeded to make a mess in my journal. I love the way crayons blend and smoosh the colour all over the place. I had to stop smooshing though, when the black threatened to muddy the colour. You should see the state of my hands!



I heard the Jewel song "Hands" this morning on the radio "In the end, only kindness matters.." So true.

  1. That song used to be one of my very favourites. Thanks for reminding me of it...I'm going to go and get my Jewel CD out and listen to it.

    What bright happy colours and the crayons give it child like carefree feeling. Beautiful!

  2. Playing with crayons has been proven to lower a persons blood pressure, as has kindness. These are so vibrant and fun!

  3. I LOVE crayons. Can anything smell better?! WEll, I am sure there are nicer fragrances but the odor is nostalgic, isn't it? Working with crayons is fun. I like to give adults a gift of crayons and coloring book; it is a good way to relax.

    I love these pictures, not messy at all!

    Wish you had taken a photo of your hands too though, I bet they were a sight ;-)

  6. One of my absolute favorite smells is that of a brand new box of Crayola crayons. When I was growing up, every Christmas and Easter I would get a new box - the BIG one. Looks like you are not only having fun, but being inspirational, as always! "Kindness Matters" is my favorite saying.
