I am addicted to pinterest, and when I saw the crayon art phase going through the boards I knew I had to try it. I went to Michaels, bought a canvas and a ton of crayons and set to work.
This is my first ever crayon art piece. It's not the best I've seen, or the best that I, myself, have done, but it was a start...I did it!!!
Advice on making your own crayon art...It makes a mess, so laying down a sheet or newspaper is a good idea, and I don't just mean right under the canvass, but all around. Sometimes the crayons splatter and spray onto things around it so its better to be prepared, then to ruin furniture around you. Always aim the hairdryer down, otherwise the crayons with only melt down the first couple drips, and not cover the entire canvas. Lastly, if you want to add some splatter to your piece, and not just the crayons melting down...take a crayon and hold it up to the canvass sideways, and aim the blow dryer at the crayon, that way when it melts it splatters on rather than running down. The fun thing about doing these is that they are easy and fun, there are so many different colors and things to do with them, my latest one was a silhouette of princess Aurora dancing with prince Philip and the colors where all varies of pink, and light purples, it was different, and secretly my favorite one.
