Illustration Friday: Toy

















I haven't flown a kite in a long time but I used to love it! I grew up in Laramie, Wyoming and it was so windy there that you had to be careful not to try it on the windiest days because your kite might crash or the string might break. This particular toy is special because there are crayons tied to the tail that are coloring a rainbow in the sky.

  3. Great Piece! I was immidiately struck by the "rainbow" portion thinking that it was strands of ribbon held to the string with closepins. I was thinking what a neat idea and trying to imagine the great show the ribbons would put on flaoting ont eh wind. I love the concept of crayons drawing a rainbow as they zip through the sky. It's just the sort of thing a kid with a great imagination would try to do!
