What better way to teach your tots fashion sense and art at the same time than with these beauts? Behold the Crayon Rings, made by Timothy Liles out of washable (a must!) crayons.

It’s amazing what some people can creatively do with everyday objects, and Christian Faur has recently dropped my jaw … He makes pixel-art out of crayons, No not drawing with them, but using them stacked in a tray to make a picture.

My earliest memories of making art involve the use of wax crayons. I can still remember the pleasure of opening a new box of crayons: the distinct smell of the wax, the beautifully colored tips, everything still perfect and unused.
