By now many of you may have heard about Social Designers 500 Pencils Project.
[LEMON DROP, GERANIUM, PUDDING, RUBY, GARNET, TEA WITH MILK, BISQUE, TRAGEDY, SNOW PEA, MERMAID’S GOWN, LETTUCE, SCARLET O’HARA, LITTLE RED WAGON]
The names alone are inspirational. Let’s start at the beginning though. 500 colored pencils specially designed by felissimo, time-released if you will, to you in sets of 25 over 20 months. Add to this, several incredible artistic storage solutions, and well, it’s almost too much for a girl to take.
If all of that’s not enough – the experience continued for me one morning while I was, let’s see, somewhere between feeding the dog and emptying the sink strainer from that mornings breakfast crumbs – there was a “knock, knock” on the door. A nice little man was at my door. He was holding a box and I could see a mini-van parked out on the road. Hmm, I thought, what could this be? “You expecting…let’s see…(as he looks over the package in his hand) some colored pencils?” “Why yes I am!” I replied with probably a little too much glee for any delivery man to expect from delivering a box of colored pencils. Then, I had to sign for them, that’s right, sign for them.
I was quite impressed. Special delivery from Japan – signature required, for the next 20 months? Sigh. How will I ever handle it when the Orchestra Display Case arrives?
