I found it appropriate to upload this piece on Valentine's Day. I really enjoy the color combination of pink and red. I hotglued red crayons to the left corner and purple and pink crayons to the right corner. I used the heat of the highest setting on a blow dryer to melt the wax of the crayons. Once the crayons were melted, I held the blow dryer at different angles to direct the wax across the white canvas. I also replaced the glue sticks in the hot glue gun with a crayon and shot the melted crayon at the canvas. I cut a piece of cardboard into the shape of a heart and then cut the heart in half, in order to split the layers of the cardboard to expose the inside texture. I enjoy making things by using materials in ways they were not originally intended.
