.....late again.
I have not posted an Artsy Fartsy Friday post in a long long long time.... I miss it.
I have let other things get in the way of writing in the blog regularly and I am trying to get my mojo back.
Anyhooo
If you are a Mom of little kids then you have tons of these

I love the smell of a fresh new box of crayons. When I was little the goal...the highest of highs was to get the mamma jamma of all crayons boxes
THE 64 COUNT BOX!
source
and they had to be Crayola crayons...no other brand would do.
To get that box meant you had arrived at the pinnacle of crayon ownership.
You owned ever color in the WORLD and now your skin tones were accurate and trees and flowers had shade and depth........
and
It had a built in sharpener for cryin' out loud!
I think I got that box just once....and if I remember correctly I had to share it with my little brother...
Which meant one thing...The beautiful gorgeous box of happiness soon became this...
source
...a pile of peeled broken unidentifiable crayons and stuck to them were pieces of other crayons.
UGH!
If you are a mom of small kids you probably have a similar pile.
what to do~what to do
Well, this brings me to this week's Art By Artist Robin Murray. The video is self explanatory. His art is GORGEOUS! Take a peek.

Hmmmm... maybe my brother was way ahead of his time. I'm off to find some broken crayons!
Have a Beautiful Weekend!

The making crayons thing is cool, my daughter-in-law has done it for Anne Marie. YEAH, your weekend art is finally back!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I need to tell her to go further and do the painting thing, I would think you have to do it really fast before they set up again, but here he uses a hair dryer so maybe they don't harden very fast.
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, Thanks! I think when I try this I may just use acrylics on top. He makes it look so easy.
DeleteThat was amazing.
ReplyDeleteHi Delores and thanks!
DeleteI keep losing my mojo for blogging too...but blog when you can. It is amazing what they can do with crayons

DeleteWe all know that the best crayons are Crayola crayons.......my girls did not like to share they did but they didn't like it..........lol
ReplyDeleteHi Jo-Anne, I had to share almost everything! There's nothing like crayola crayons!
DeleteI love when you do this, you always introduce me to so many amazing forms of art that I never heard of.
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought crayon! too freaking cool!
Hi Alexis, thanks. I cant wait to try this out!
DeleteYou my dear would rock! Mine would turn into something that looked like a kid would do. Heck the kids probably would look better ... lol
DeleteThat is very cool! You brought back a memory of mine. When I was a little girl my brother and I melted crayons on our radiator (used for heat at that time) and needless to say we got in a lot of trouble.
ReplyDeletevery cool! and yes i remember you were the it kid if you were lucky enough to have that big box of imagination!
