I finally got around to creating a crayon picture using our Stampin'Up! fabrics and ribbons.
I've been eyeing all those fabulous crayon creations on Pinterest and this weekend I took a deep breath and tried it out. I learned some lessons and have got ideas for other pictures now.
I delved into my can of uncovered crayons that I had left over from my classroom - therefore I didn't know what the brands of all the crayons were - and believe me, some brands react differently than others to the heat gun! So - I'm not completely happy with this first attempt - but the little white flowers amongst the gobs of solid wax help it out.
I used spray starch to moisten and help me "distress" the fabric a bit - it hasn't made it too stiff - it just helped wrinkle it a bit. We all know I have an aversion to flat paper - apparently, for artistic purposes, the same holds true for fabric.
Take the plunge - try something new today.
Thanks for stopping by.
Joan
