Crayons of the Mountains
The Crayons of the Mountains – the new and second project following The Crayons of the Seas – offers an educational journey through 12 crayons, each representing colors derived from satellite images of Earth's majestic mountains. These vibrant hues invite both children and adults to explore and appreciate the beauty of nature while learning about the unique regions where each color originates.
Through careful craftsmanship and numerous trials, the crayon artisans have meticulously captured the natural tones of these mountain landscapes. Each crayon is marked with the specific longitude and latitude of the location where the color was sourced, offering a tangible connection to these places around the world.
The 12 colors of these crayons are inspired by the following locations:
1. Mt. Everest / Chomolungma / Sagarmāthā, Nepal and China
2. Guiana Highlands (Auyan-Tepui), Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
3. Fagradalsfjall, Iceland
4. Mt. Taranaki, New Zealand
5. The Richat Structure, Mauritania
6. Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai, Kingdom of Tonga
7. Uluru / Ayers Rock, Australia
8. Mt. Fuji, Japan
9. Machu Picchu, Republic of Peru
10. Rainbow Mountain (Mt. Vinicunca), Republic of Peru
11. Shirakami Sanchi mountain range, Japan
12. Kīlauea, Hawaii
