Cleaning and Playing

I'm in the middle of a very big clean up job in my studio. Well....more like clean a little and play a little. I keep finding things I knew I had but could not locate. Case in point, my crayons. I found them buried under a pile of papers on my low work bench. Happiness! I was looking for them so I could make some melted crayon art, now I don't have to go out and buy a new box. So...I got some cleaning done, now to reward myself.

I wrapped a small piece of canvas board with book pages, went through the crayons and selected my color palette and went to work. I used a Clover mini-iron to melt and drip the wax on the board. I had also found some paper flowers in my cleaning and waxed them up and attached them to the board with melted white crayon, then added dots of the white crayon to brighten it up.
Now I've got more cleaning to do. I wonder what I will be finding next?

What a lovely canvas artpiece you created after cleaning a little and then playing a little. I love it when I find something I know I have and don't want to go buy it again. Happy finding...

Thank you! I'm having a fun time finding all those things I forgot I had. Now I have tons of ideas for all that stuff I've uncovered!
