Waxing Poetic
Note: The participation period has ended and Lea is busy putting together the poetic boxes of crayons.
She will send an announcement to the Leafcutter Designs e-mailing list when they are ready for purchase.

"Waxing Poetic" is a color naming mail art project.

Fill out the form below and I will send you a packet containing eight colors for you to "wax poetic" with and give one-of-a-kind names to.

What does each color remind you of? What does it make you long for? What sound does it make and what does it smell like? Is it a noun, or perhaps a verb?

Name the colors with just one word or up to a whole phrase. Maybe it is called "the day I met you." Or perhaps simply "grow."

Return your packet to me in the mail and your color names will be printed onto labels, wrapped around crayons, mixed with the other submissions, and poetically reorganized into boxes of eight. These boxes will be sold in the shop to support the project. I look forward to reading your creations!
