Playing with crayons

261
I admit that I cheated. I don't have Crayola crayons, so I used my water soluble ones. You will see on the following photo how using the crayons looked. Horrible! I guess the very textured paper in my journal is not a good combination with crayons. At least - that's my excuse. I added gesso and color pencils and I think it looks better that way. Still very silly... it definitely brough the child in me.

  8. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only big girl who still plays with toys!!!!!! I'll bet your turtles were darling and I think that is a rather sweet story that you shared with me! Thank you! I loved your birds so much, I just ordered the big girl crayons and they were shipped today! ~Missy
