Another thing to try. ...(sorry, this is a bit long)<br />Another thing to try. take a pencil sharpener and sharpen a few crayons (in your colour palette) directly onto fabric. <br />Arrange shavings in a pleasing manner. Don't over do this because too much will melt in blobs.<br /><br />Place another piece of fabric on top and using something to protect iron and ironing surface, iron to melt crayon shavings.<br /><br />Lift and add more as and where needed. The surprise is that the most colour will go onto top fabric. So, you may want to turn sandwich over and press from other side for subsequent arrangements of shavings.<br /><br />The resulting fabric can be further worked into by drawing with crayons and pressing again. You can enhance with stitch or with beads, etc.<br /><br />This idea was a result of a childhood experience of us sharpening crayons for some unfathomable reason into a pillowcase. Our aunt was staying with us and at that point washing needed to be done at a launderette...which she and our mother transported the clothing in pillowcases! Her lingerie all came back with not so wonderful little crayon flecks all over. Glad it wasn't her best clothes. Eventually faded after months!<br /><br />So, remembering that, I did the above experiment. The fabric was used in work juried into a show and then had a commission on the back of that.<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-34179891491366608352014-05-09T08:24:36.559-04:002014-05-09T08:24:36.559-04:00What a wonderful post!
