Washington-based artist Diem Chau has recently created a charming set of letters that is carved out of Crayola crayons.
Each letter of the alphabet is accompanied by a matching crayon sculpture—for instance, the letter ‘C’ is paired with a cat carved out of an orange crayon.
“I've been wanting to make a set of "Alphabet" crayons for a long time. I've always been drawn to illustrated alphabets. Maybe it's the Fontophile in me, but I find an extreme satisfaction in seeing a well made set of ABC's.”
The artist has an upcoming art show—running from 5 April to 18 May 2013—at the Packer Schopf Gallery in Chicago, where she will be presenting the full set of crayon letters and some of her other carved pencil art.
