Crayon Concept Piece

We are working crayon pieces where we melt the crayon and then put them on a cool or warm background. After we finish that then we have to find a word that best fits that piece and then we print out the word onto clear transparencies and and finally sew them onto the crayon papers. I think that this is a very creative project to do because it lets people see how creative you can be. I chose the words 'run and hide' for my warm crayon piece because it just fit with the way that the crayons melted on the page as if they were running away from something. I printed out the word "run and hide" onto tissue paper, then I cut the words to pit into the holes on my page and last of all put acrylic clear glue over it to keep it down. In the end the whole thing looked amazing and I have Lisa to thank for that because she came up with the idea for me. :)   For my cool crayon piece I chose the word 'caged' because the melted crayon looks like a jail cell and I thought it would be really awesome if I added a transperecy of jail cars to add a whole effect of being "caged". I cut out the transparencys to make them fit my page and i glued it on with wax. I also glued onthe word with wax. This created a kind of rugged look to the piece. I really like this one. :)
