FAQ’s for Kolorwacks Crayons
– a unique crayon, art tool & a work of art

# of different colors in each crayon?
At least 42.  It’s my homage to two things: baseball & The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.  The former because I learned baseball from my father.  Then I learned of Jackie Robinson & how he broke the baseball color line & that his number was 42.  The latter because the answer to everything in the Universe is 42.  I have found this to be true.

Advantages of a Kolorwack
– You don’t have to switch crayons.
–  It’s like having a box of crayons in one crayon.

Artwork on the KW site
All artwork was created by Barbara J Genovese, who has two left feet when it comes to art.  All artwork was created in under 10 seconds. If you were to recreate some of these works of art by longhand – like the spiral logo – it would take eons longer.

Buyers of KW’s
I’ve sold my crayons to kids from 2 to 92.  One young man bought one so he could write letters to his girlfriend.  And – I’ve noticed an interesting pattern: children with autism respond well to the crayon.

Creation time
Sticks take about 30 minutes; stars take 2x as long.

Fairs & markets sales?
Not at the moment.     

Handmade & source of materials 
Kolorwacks are handmade.  I hand-drip crayons into a mold & in layers – that’s why the colors lay as they do.  So no matter how you twist & turn the crayon, you get something interesting & new.  When the wax hardens, the crayons are removed from the mold & edges trimmed.

Do you use recycled crayons?

Nope.  Here’s why: a) I don’t know where “recycled” crayons have been & I don’t want to clean them.  b) The primary colors are always missing from “recycled” crayons. 

I buy the 96 box of new, non-toxic Crayola crayons but I don’t use all the colors because some colors just don’t play well in the color sandbox.

Instruction booklet – is there one?
Yes – your imagination, curiosity & memory of “play.”  Your fingers & hands will do the rest.
