Botanical crayons
THIS ITEM HAS A SHIP DATE OF NOVEMBER 4TH
These non-toxic crayons are made in the Garraf region of Spain using beeswax, carnauba wax, soy wax and natural plant and mineral pigments. They are made in small batches and are carved by hand, one by one, each crayon is unique in its color and shape. They come with a roll-up canvas case and a small card explaining which plants and minerals were used to produce their color. There are 10 crayons in a set.
Care instructions: The pigments used in the crayons are light sensitive and will change over time. Please store them in a cool and dark place when not using them to help preserve their depth of color. Our botanical crayons do break (as all crayons do!), you can melt them down using a “Bain Marie” and pouring them into a silicone mold.
I source the beeswax locally from a beekeeper, the carnauba wax is farmed ethically in Brazil as are the pigments and soy wax I purchase from a EU producer. About 50-60% of the pigment used is foraged and processed by me somewhere between the Pyrenees and my home in the garraf. Some colors are very time and labor intensive to create so I purchase natural plant pigments from producers in Spain and France. We melt, mix, pour, carve and wrap each crayon by hand.
