Crayons, Canvas, Creativity, "Brown Eyed Susans"

 I had a wonderful day experimenting with crayons, canvas, a warm oven and my hair blower. All Thanks to pinterest.com/!
I placed my crayons on a canvas which was at a slight angle in a warm oven. As the crayons started to melt I took them out of the oven for a few seconds of directional encouragement with my hair blower. I was very sure that I wouldn't get wax on my blower so I didn't use an old one. . .well it took me some time to remove the wax!

Grade Three "Give Thanks Napkins"

The grade three class had fun pounding out these images onto napkins. First arrange fresh ferns on a smooth, clean, hard surface. We used 12"X12" pieces of wood. Next place the napkin over the design, tape it in place to keep it from moving. Each student had a fist sized rock which they used to pound out the design, transfering the chlorophyl from the plant into the fabric. A very noisy classroom!
         My grandsons made these a year ago and with many washings have faded only slightly. [the napkins not my grandsons : ) ]
