I love the smell of new crayons... I couldn't start my first day of school without one, (I would have to hide them from the dog, she would eat them if I left them lying about on the floor, and she'd have interesting colored poop the next day!) I have a box of 64 in the cupboard ready at a moments notice should I decide I need to indulge (and I do!) There's nothing like sketching out the color schemes for potential paintings, layering and blending... oh the joy! Loved your post!!Laura J. Wellner (author pseudonym Laura J. W.

Sorry your inner critic was so mouthy.<br /><br />My latest silliness - my new motto is "stick it". Where I "used to" sew, I now glue. I've collected paper bags, graph paper, magazines, fabric scraps and any other bits I have around the house and I'm just gluing and sticking and having a fantastic time. My inner critic is on vacation this week, but I'm sure she'll be back quite soon.Kim Hambrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784106179953299055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186959491936711427.post-32336426639132976902010-08-30T11:37:46.179-04:002010-08-30T11:37:46.179-04:00:-) absolutely, Carolann!

Or how about putting down all that yummy color and then covering it with black and scratching out an image, revealing all that color; like an archeological dig of the artistic kind.Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.com
