Crayon Art

For a fun, crafty blog I decided to explore the art of crayons. 
I started out by laying a large, plastic mat on my floor, then taped a regular piece of paper onto the mat.  Make sure to tape under the paper not on top of it, otherwise the crayon will come off with the tape.  I found a large number of crayons, but you really just need one crayon for each color you want to include on your paper, (I used roygbiv).  Using a small blow dryer I took a red crayon, peeled off the paper, and held it over the corner of the paper.  Angle the blow dryer at about forty-five degrees and wait for the crayon to start melting. Make sure you spread the crayon's splatter all across the paper. 
When adding colors hold the new color over the splatter of the last color.  Do this because the crayon won't drip exactly where you place it, so to avoid white spots account for this difference. 
This only takes about twenty minutes, and for my first attempt, it turned out well! There are many ways to experiment with crayon art, every time you do crayon art the results will be different, so keep making art!
