Colleen told me to google "melted crayon art", so that's what I did. I do what my friends tell me. They're smart. And pretty. And have great hair.
 |
| Melty goodness. |
I thought it'd be a fun project for me and my nieces to do together, but Sarah and I basically took it over, pushing the kids out of the way when they messed with our crayon arrangement. WE HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC STRATEGY, CHILDREN. YOU'RE RUINING EVERYTHING.
 |
| I follow directions good. |
Lydia did help a little.
 |
| White crayons are the tastiest of the crayons. |
The color scheming and gluing were the easy bits. The next part got a little, um, hot and boring.
 |
| The family that melts together, stays together. |
|
 |
| First drips. Hallelujah. |
|
 |
| Lydia: Why are we doing this? It's hot as shit in here. I'm over it. Give me a banana. |
I don't know how you're supposed to blow dry this stuff and not have it spray everywhere. But I like the effect, so I'm choosing to pretend I did it on purpose.
... though I guess saying that here just gave it away. Hmph.
 |
| Crayon says, "I will not blow in straight lines." |
Still, overall it was a fun venture. It took us about an hour all said and done and Penny squealed with delight when she left the room saw the finished product.
 |
| My flowers lost all of their color. |
 |
| You cut me open and keep bleeding, keep keep bleeding love... |
 |
| Snickers is not impressed. |
Snickers is your toughest critic.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!! What a neat idea and so pretty. So someone gave me an idea for you to use in if you need a creative (bizarre) thought on a slow day: Cat breading. Yes, you read that correctly. Plus the blood Snickers splatters during this project will spur the next project! Kind of like a two for one deal. Shannon
