Kat's photos of her in the 80s (complete with My Little Pony), which got me think about other awesome things in the 80s. Few things were as good as wax crayons. I spent hours and hours
But then you go to school and you have to learn how to 'sketch', with pencils and grey things. Very dull. Drawing fruit in a bowl isn't very enjoyable unless you can make apples purple. So I'm going to buy these vintage wax crayons from Present & Correct (of course, all the good stationery stuff is from them). My apples with be all sorts of exciting colours.
They're £7.95 and I promise not to draw on the walls. Cross my heart and hope to die. Stick a needle in my eye.
I did my final A level art exam piece in wax crayons - got an A. I believe this proves that they rock!
ReplyDeleteI hold my hand up to buying an Easter colouring book and wax crayons in an attack of nostalgia and spending a very happy evening colouring in a bunny and some chicks. (The bunny was pink obv.)
ReplyDeleteAll children of the 80's should be allowed to do this. We had it hard. ;)
