Non-archival Encaustics

The kids and I had a really good time on Canada Day.  We took a giant bag of crayons that we picked up for free at a garage sale, attacked them with our pencil sharpeners, and then blow dried (melted) them into encaustic paintings, with Mom’s embossing iron (a mini extra-hot bow drier).  Here is my 3″x8″ creation – no masterpiece, but pretty interesting for crayola wax crayons.
