The crayons were all over the picnic table, so I put them in a nice stack.

"Records show that Europe was the birthplace of the "modern" crayon. The first crayons were made from a mixture of charcoal and oil. Later, powdered pigments of various hues replaced the charcoal.
Crayola Crayons were invented by Binney & Smith in 1902. The trade name Crayola was coined by Mrs. Edwin Binney who joined the French word "craie," meaning stick of chalk and "ola" from the word "oleaginous," meaning oily. Crayola Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and color pigment."
orange crayon + orange lambo + montys drawing = my final canon photo 5 entry :-)
Yay! So glad this canon 5 thing is finished. Far too much of my life has been devoted to it already!
This was a brand new black crayon right out of the box. You would not see the tiny scratches and imperfections normally. But looking at a macro photograph the imperfections are shown.
This is a photo of a set of crayons that has been glued to a canvas and melted at the tips. It was on the shelf at the Tusket Frenchies.
Every March 31st children and adults alike open up a box of crayons and enjoy coloring. What a better way to take part in National Crayon Day?
Wax and chalk based crayons have been used by artists around the world for centuries. Edwin Binney created the brightly colored crayons we are familiar with today. He was part owner of Binney & Smith, a company that produced products such as paint, pigments and slate pencils for schools.
In 1903, Binney & Smith created the Crayola Division and produced colored wax crayons for children for the first time. Then in 1904, they presented their An-Du-Septic chalk at the Colombian Exposition in St. Louis winning a gold medal. The chalk was designed to be dustless at many teachers’ requests and was an immediate success.

Need way more power hehe.
Taken with a Make highspeed controller and a panasonic FZ50.
If you want to make these yourself there is a tutorial for the pencils in my blog:

Evrey once in a while, usually after I get a new way of breaking things, I go back to an old theme to see what it looks like.
A row of crayons gets demolished by a fast moving steel ball. About 550fps.
It is a classic high speed theme, but, even so, it is still fun to look at again.
I had to take three pictures total to get the timing right. It vital that the blue crayon survive :-)
Also, I am curious if others are having issues up-loading pictures to Flickr. I don't upload much, but it's gotten so about 20-30% of the time my upload just freezes. It's annoying because I loose all the stuff I wrote to describe the picture.
My internet experience is unchanged, my connection is the same and my computer is the same, so I figure it's a Flickr issue.
?
Cheers.
The Flesh Crayola crayon became Peach in 1962. I bought these on ebay. The life of this crayon inspired the video Crayola Monologues.
