crayons

Forget carving pumpkins, carving crayons is cool. It’s not limited to one season either.

The talented and patient Steve Thompson made tiny works of Star Wars art from Crayolas. Considering the scale, he did a great job capturing the likeness of these loved characters. The Stormtrooper (who is a little short) is spot on. Let’s hope he has a silver crayon set aside to carve Han Solo in Carbonite.

Stick Crayons

Apparently the stick was just inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame because a child’s imagination can turn it into just about anything. But make that stick in a variety of bright colors and capable of leaving a trail of wax when dragged across a surface, and you’d have a product on the fast track to toy immortality; namely these crayon sticks. Yeah, they may cost you about $35 more than what you’d pay for the 64 pack of conventional crayons with that snazzy built in sharpener, but hey… sticks!

crayon-dog

Nothing says “screw the poor” more than dropping $18,000 on a dog sculpted entirely from crayons.  But if you’ve got the money to burn, this puppy promises years of inanimate companionship, dust collection and waxy scents.
