My daughter's crayon art

[alohamom2three]

We do Secret Santa since we do so many homemade gifts...this year my daughter's project for her secret santa was so good, I had to share it.  We talked through the project but she did the whole thing herself.  This is for my niece who lives on a farm and has pigs and chickens so she did a drawing with my niece and the animals playing in the rain. She used only blue and green crayons to simulate the rain and taped paper on the umbrella to block the crayon from the umbrella.











I love raising crafty children!

[rebecnik]

Amazing! I love, love, love how innovative this is. Great imagination and great job! What talent!

[patty_o_furniture]

Great job crafty kid!

What a truly great project!  I love the rain colors, and the drawings - it will be very appreciated in its new home, I am sure!  You have one crafty kid!

I've seen the Melted Crayon Project done so many times and usually with mediocre-at-best results. This, however, is something wonderful and special and really, really wonderful. Your daughter did a wonderful job.

I love the little drawing- even as fabulous as it is, the melted crayon isn't even the best part in my opinion! This is a great piece of art, which I'm sure will be highly prized! Great job!  This rocks!

[Helcura]

That's wonderful - I really like how the umbrella was blocked out.

Lovely work from a very talented lass. Maybe time she joined Craftster on her own account 

[Anofeles]

Wow, what an idea! Your daughter surely has a piece of fantasy, not to mention she's a beautiful lady too.

HOW did u get so many of the same color crayons? had to buy tons of cheap packs, or raid a restaurant crayon bucket?

[Indiana]

That is absolutely the coolest crayon art I've ever seen! Well done to your daughter - what a star!

[Catrinau]

I love it!  Great job!

[corchen]

Wow, that's fabulous, and I'm not just saying that because of bespectacled redhead solidarity! She's one talented little artist. Hope she keeps up with the crafting!

[edelweiss72]

Spectacular! Anybody would be thrilled and very lucky to receive this original piece of art. Just had to hit the "This Rocks" button!

[Onyxnox]

That turned out awesome - love how the crayon is dripping off the umbrella.  You're daughter a future Crafster member???  I love her drawings too - they are so cute, and I love the style!

[kerilyn]

Such talent!  It is a beautiful piece of art.  Congrats to your daughter on a lovely result.  Did she leave the (remains of the) crayons at the top, or remove them after the melt?

[nom_de_plume]

What a talented kid! I love it!

[alohamom2three]

Thanks everyone for all the compliments!  She loved reading them!

We bought a classroom pack from Michael's...has like 500 crayons in 6 or 7 colors.

Left the Crayons...pretty much the project is as you see it except she painted the edge of the canvas black to finish it off.

[ShiningStar]

Awesome !  This was a great idea.  I hope the person who got it loves it.  What is the tool used to melt the crayons?  Most of the time I see people using hair dryer.  For a while I've wanted to try crayon art.  Thanks for the push.

[ThePenguinTheory]

This is amazing! I would love to receive a gift like this!

[kjlutz]

Wow, this is the best piece of crayon art I have ever seen, I love the drawing, and the working umbrella so much. 

[Miaka]

Wow, that's amazing. I love the idea and how it turned out =)

[Kittibear33]

That's awesome! I had a friend do a rainbow one and I can't wait to have my own place so I can do this, too! 

[Thorfinnworkshop]

The drawings are great! The melted crayons look great too, espeshally over the umbrella.

[dwfan10]

Wow. That looks awesome! The drawing is so cute

[TechnicolorAquahearts]

Beautiful! She is very talented! I love how she did the umbrella thing.
