We can't help but notice the crayon art movement when we browse pinterest. Wow! I just had to try one myself. I wanted it to look like an abstract Sebastian. But as it turns out, crayons have a mind of their own! This is my second attempt. I recommend doing a practice one first and be prepared for it to look nothing like what you had planned. BOL!
INSTRUCTIONS:
What you'll need - Artist Canvas (the one in this photo is a 16X20), pack of crayons, toothpicks, blow dryer, pencil, black and white paint, small paintbrush.
Melting crayons with a blow dryer turns out to be quite a mess (I learned from my first try) so I covered my table with paper and built a cardboard shield to block all of the flying specks of crayons.
Make sure to chop up a bunch of crayons in 1/4" pieces or less before you start. A small piece of crayon goes a long way! I used toothpicks to hold them down to keep my fingers out of the way of the hot blow dryer.
There you have it! I love how colorful it is.
XOXOXOXO,
Erika and Sebastian
This is so cute and creative!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! It has such bright colors! Don't know if I'd have enuf patience.
ReplyDeleteWasn't Winston jealous that he didn't get one?
Darcy and Sophie said to send licks to Sebastian and Winston!
That is beyond cool!

ReplyDeleteI used an embossing tool to melt the crayons and it went fairly quick. Plus, the air is not as strong as a blow dryer.
