Abstract Art with Crayons

 First, we decided what colors we wanted our paintings to be.

We peeled the paper off and used a pencil sharpener to get our shavings.

 All ready! Here we go!

 We didn't know what to expect... The boys made designs on the paper. 

I used watercolor paper.

 I had the paper setting on a sheet of wax paper and I placed a second piece on top.

I set the iron on not so hot... whatever that is:)

 

Drew got the camera:)

 

 I ended up adding some orange to the boys'.

I think it was fun and easy... You can keep manipulating the wax in different ways.

I turned the heat up all the way and turned on the steam.

I removed the wax paper put flecks of bright orange and yellow all over mine. Keeping the iron right above the surface of the paper and making sure not to touch, I melted the crayon pieces. It added just the right touch.

FUN!

We did these last week.

TOO COOL:)
