Ten Reasons I LOVE crayons

I’ve noticed all over the internet crayon art….it’s insane how some of the simplest things just get BIG.  I’ve seen some pretty cool stuff too!

I couldn’t resist….I just had to try this.  I thought and thought about putting my brand on it….and I guess I just wasn’t inspired enough to come up with anything life changing! So ultimately I just found some broken bits in the grand kids’ crayon box….and sort of arranged them how I liked on my canvas….and melted them.  I kinda turned the canvas this way and that to get them to run some what….Then I let it dry.

Now….being one to NEVER leave things alone….and NEVER completely happy with my work….I couldn’t just accept that.

So…I sketched a design….and painted it….I like it…but I really think….It’s just a rough draft….and I DO want to try it again.  It was sort of relaxing!….and just a little mesmerizing watching the colors run!

I like the way the paint cracked a little revealing the colors beneath.

I’ve kinda had a love affair with crayons my whole life…..really….who hasn’t?

Who thought them up?  WOW….genius!  I’ll have to show you another time….another cool little project I learned when I was about ten…..and my kids just LOVED it too!

I really don’t have ten reasons I love crayons….well I probably do….but I’m too lazy to think hard enough to come up with them!

I’d LOVE to see what Y’all do with them!!!!

Love Y’all!!!

  1. My mom used to save crayon bits, melt them together, and pour into egg shells. She would stick a wick down through the center, and viola…Crayon candles!

  2. I love crayons for the unlimited potential in a box. I am no artist but I feel like one with a box of crayons. I have done this with kids in school melt, or color hard on a piece of paper. Then put black crayon over the top and scrape away a reverse design.
