Many crafters out there are making crayon hearts for Valentine's Day. I undertook the project and began peeling off the wrappers of a couple hundred crayons. As I peeled and chopped and melted these beautiful color sticks I kept thinking about Herb Williams. He sculpts using crayons. I first saw his work at Children's Museum of the Arts when it was located on Lafayette Street in Manhattan. I took several pictures of his crayon fish. Last October he opened his installation in Lubbock, TX of freestanding sculptures that represent wildfires. Texas is suffering it's worst drought and wildfires have devastated commmunities. These sculptures made of crayons will melt, thus transforming them, in the Texas heat.
