An art project: melted crayon art
Art has never really been my thing, but I have always wanted to try melted crayon art. I've seen it on websites like Pinterest. So, I tried it out. Even though it took a long time, I am absolutely in love with how it came out.
I hot glued crayons to a poster board. I used RoseArt crayons mixed with a few neon Crayola crayons. I believe the Crayola produced brighter colors when melted. Other than that, the only necessary materials are a hairdryer and newspaper to cover your work spaces (include the walls behind the poster. You may actually melt the top of the crayons without meaning to).
I also obtained a silhouette of a couple standing under an umbrella. I covered it with tape while melting crayons around it.
The whole process took several hours to get the final product I wanted. The best part was you couldn't really mess up - you could always simply move around whatever you had already melted by re-melting it with the hairdryer. The crayon also had a tendency to splatter into the areas of other colors, but it turned out looking cooler that way.
Something like this is the whole reason I love Project 52. I never would've made the time to do this, but it was great. Plus, I have something to hang up in my room that I can actually say I made. This will stand as a reminder of everything Project 52 stands for in my mind: to live without regrets and take advantage of opportunities like a couple taking advantage of a special moment despite the adverse weather conditions.
