Melting Crayons!

This morning it felt weird to actually be able to sleep a little bit later and not have anything to do except eventually get ready for work. :) I was going to get up at 7:30 and run but when my alarm went off I was like yeahhhhhh.....na I'll just stay here for a little bit longer. So I finally got up at 9:20 and got my crayon project rolling! Last night I hot glued all of them down on a piece of illustration board.




Then this morning I rigged this contraption up so that I could attach them right above the glass piece from the picture frame.


After I attached my fancy little creation to the glass I sat the glass and crayons in the sun in front of my apartment. You can see my shadow...... ;) hehe
It's a little difficult to see, but the glass piece is there. The tape is on the back of it.

>>>>>While I was waiting on them to melt I went to pick up my owl project from my teacher and........I made an A! yay!!!!!!!! *happy dance*

Overall this probably sat in the sun about 2 hours....which now I know was a little bit too long....

This is how it turned out....





This is a picture of the other side of the glass....

When I put this in the frame I think I might do it so that the wax is on the backside of the glass....I haven't decided for sure yet.

Although I now know that the next time I do this I will have to keep a closer watch on it, I think it turned out great for my first time!

I think it would be neat to do some only using certain colors. Easy way to create personalized art using your own personal color scheme!
I might have to try this a few more times it was fun! :)

I am planning on eventually converting a bookcase in my apartment into extra storage space (college apartments lack this). My idea is simple, I just want to make a small curtain to hide whatever might be behind it. I haven't figured out exactly how to go about this yet.

Tonight my cousin is coming to play racquetball with me! I am super excited! I warned him that I might be just a tad bit entertaining (aka my giggle box might flip again).

I hope everyone has an awesome Tuesday night! 


I told my mom I left the crayon thing out too long. She asked did it mess up? I replied...."ummmmm I like to think there are no complete mess ups in art.... Trial and error and then you make it better ;) it looks really neat"
