These cute little sculpture versions of children’s drawings are the work of a company called Crayon Creatures. Pictured here are a Giraffied Llama and a Hamster on a Speed Boat, both of which are completely awesome.
The service is available to purchase online. After uploading a scanned image of your child’s drawing you’ll receive a 3D sandstone sculpture depicting the artwork by mail.
“Children drawings are weird and beautiful. Kids produce an immense amount of drawings that populate fridges, living rooms and workspaces of parents, family & friends. Those drawings are amazing, We love them. We will bring to life the kid’s artwork by modeling a digital sculpture and turning it into a real object using 3D Printing technology.”

Stop playing with my emotions.
