Summer is so close I can see it! In the studio our conversations on upcoming designs will usually trail off topic or sprint in other directions as everyone has their own thoughts. Lately we have been discussing the endless possibilities of color combinations with prints, inks, dyes, ties and accents which lead us to a side topic of our universal love for Crayola Crayons.
In 1903 there were only 8 colors available, now in 2011 there are 120 colors. Crayola has renamed, revamped, and recreated their product to grow with the times. My personal favorite color is Magenta (yes it's pink).
Each of us has our own story on why we love Crayola Crayons. As a kid it gave me an avenue to be creative and play with colors. Even now if I am at a restaurant and there is a set of crayons I will be sitting there off in my own world coloring. I can remember being at my Grandmother's house with a fresh box of 64 crayons, the built in sharpener in the back and a huge stack of princess coloring books with a big smile on my face. I bet my Grandmother liked it too because it was the only time I was ever quiet.
