In the past we've gone in to the big chain stores and bought the cheap crayons plus the coloring books to go with them. Many have a memory of the big box of crayons and various coloring pages through their child hood. Frankly I remember coloring but I can't remember the specific books. My fondest memory of "coloring" involved no fixed coloring book. It involved studying mountain ranges and I drew and colored the mountain ranges of the world as my project.
Last year I took a short class on block crayon use. What I thought of as a crayon was a big bin of miscellaneous shaped, peeled crayons that felt innocuous to the touch. After the class, I felt an understanding of crayon as a warmth colorful expressive extension of myself. Something I could blend and hold in various ways to explore my own creative yearning and inspired vitality in a more organic way. This year - out goes the coloring books with the rigid lines and in come the big blank sheets and the block and stick crayons made from natural beeswax. For each season can be explored through integrated color and blends with every page telling a vibrant story of season, harvest, life and love.
