Leaves Crayons by Shion Ito

I adored getting a new box of Crayola crayons when I was a child...the promise, the colors, the smell, the idea that I could draw anything I could think of with them. And I loved the bigger box with the sharpener at the back!

Japanese product designer Shion Ito has taken that love and mixed it with a regard for the natural world in his new Leaves crayons. Like a fallen autumn leaf, each one contains flecks of secondary colors to the main hue.

BEAUTY: Installation--Herb Williams

Artist/sculptor Herb Williams uses an unusual medium to create his work: Crayola crayons. His newest installation entitled "Unwanted Visitor: Portrait of Wildfire" opened October 7, 2011 at the National Ranching Heritage Center (NRHC) in Lubbock, Texas. It is meant to draw attention to the environmental catastrophe of wildfire in Texas as the wax of the sculptures eventually melts under the baking Texas sun... a poetic visual for the disaster of wildfire.
