With the array of colors, the perfectly sharpened tips, and the seemingly endless possibilities, the experience of a brand new box of crayons is magical. Eventually, the excitement of a fresh box fades as the crayons become dull, broken, and neglected. CrayonFawn brings new life to these old forgotten crayons in the form of cute fawn sculptures. The recycled crayons are melted down and then poured into a handmade mold in layers of various hues and shades into an experiment in color. Although each CrayonFawn is made from the original fawn figurine, the blends of colors and the wax configuration can never been duplicated, making each fawn unique.

Kelso Doesn't Dance's first ruffle bag was made in early 2007 after the failed search for the “perfect purse.”  It was a search for a practical, convenient purse… something that looked nice and still had plenty of sections for everything you could need.  After deciding to make the bag that couldn’t be found, Kelso drafted up a pattern and went sewing away.  It wasn’t long before people at grocery stores and shopping malls were asking where it was purchased.  And so began Kelso Doesn’t Dance with Kelso designing and hand making handbags and accessories with that “perfect purse” model in mind.
