Crayola Carvings

Posted by on

If you liked Dalton Ghetti’s carved pencils, you’re going to love this. Diem Chau is an artist who is best known for her intricate and detailed crayon carvings. Inspired by folk art and wood carvings from the Depression Era, Diem chose crayons as her medium for their fragility and reminder of childhood. Here she has carved the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. Impressive, right? Check out the rest of her crayon carvings here!

    I am fascinated by a artist who steps out of conventional materials and uses whatever is available. To put such effort into something that every family has lying around in broken pieces really inspires.
