Carved Crayons by Peter Goldlust

· Peter Goldlust :: Carved Crayons :: A select few shown above, I just love these colorful carved creations.

· Crayola Crayons Techniques :: includes melting crayons, using with paints and more.

· The Crayon Artist® :: You’ll be amazed at what artist Jeffrey Robert can accomplish with a box of Crayola Crayons. A must see!

· Harold and the Purple Crayon :: Watch the original 1969 animation of the classic book Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson. Ever since I was kid I have longed for a purple crayon like Harold! Oh, the possibilities!

And here is a student’s journal response to the RuPaul quote above:

This week, let us be inspired by Doors, those intriguing passageways from here to there. Doors can symbolize many things: freedom, escape, change, secrecy, hearth. Perhaps you could share with us a special door in your life that is a work of art in itself, or choose to create a piece of art that illustrates what concepts resonate with you when thinking about doors or doorways. Looking forward to seeing your a-door-able art! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)

As some of you may have noticed the site was down for a couple of days; it turns out the domain expired and I had not received the email notice due to incorrect info on file. That is not what I intended when I said I was going to take a break, but I suppose that is what I get for playing hooky :)

The site is up and running again, I am back from my break, and we are back to amusing our muses!

peace+joy,
