Inspire Me Thursday – Crayons
.
When I saw this week’s Inspire Me Thursday prompt I couldn’t help smiling. I had a lot of happy memories with crayons when I was little. I dug up my old grade school crayons and brought them to the studio. There were many broken pieces and a lot of colors were missing but some old favorites were still there – salmon, periwinkle, goldenrod and bittersweet.  I felt like a kid again :-)

    Your work is even great when Crayolaed! Awesome glow on the flame. Also, the way the image just sort of fades out/stops in the lower right is really nice. It’s leaves a bright spot that balances with the dark in the upper left perfectly.
