The White Crayon

[Cleric Ash]

Well, maybe this will ease your mind a bit about the white crayon. Whenever we would dye Easter eggs at my grandma's house, she would buy us each a kit. In each kit was one white crayon. The crayon was used to write/draw something on the egg (like if Jack couldn't get in touch with Kate at the end of season 3, he could write "We have to go back" and draw a bearded sad face on the egg and then hide it in Kate's yard). When you dyed the egg, the color wouldn't go over the wax from the crayon, just around it, so your message/design would still be there. Why a white crayon? Because if you did any other color, it would blend in with your egg color. Hope that helps!

And i just love drawing on black paper, its somehow refreshing after so many white ones. So, go white crayon

Silly me, I thought it was for the budding modern artistes, who wear berets or ear bandages in later life, and truly enjoy layering their colors to add exquisite interest and complexity.




(I'm still laughing about the hate letters in crayon being less threatening)
