I taught a group of girls to crayon paint one time, they seemed to like it but I think the embrodery adds a touch of clas to it.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622919657309096651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579333661679660473.post-41897581568433967462009-08-30T12:28:45.640-07:002009-08-30T12:28:45.640-07:00I have done some coloring on a few projects and it...I have done some coloring on a few projects and it is fun and different.Carrie P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10063988589711911820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579333661679660473.post-77175749932084333152009-08-29T10:16:22.704-07:002009-08-29T10:16:22.704-07:00I love working with crayons and fiber.

And, don't you LOVE the smell of warm melting crayon wax? lol I do! :)Bea<br /><br />PS Those patterns would be perfect for a wool applique quilt too. I do my wool applique flowers with the button hole stitch, very relaxing to do.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825249325749004937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579333661679660473.post-727026951801391022009-08-29T07:18:27.235-07:002009-08-29T07:18:27.235-07:00wow that is amazing. you are so artistic!wow that is amazing. you are so artistic!Lee Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733872088509481749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579333661679660473.post-73448478385433047602009-08-29T07:15:17.136-07:002009-08-29T07:15:17.136-07:00Hi Karen, the secret to deep color is really very ...Hi Karen, the secret to deep color is really very simple...layering.<br />I color lightly then press to remove the wax and then color again...this can be done as many times as you want to get the color and depth you want.Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245963180065978054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579333661679660473.post-55309511407805404642009-08-29T06:37:36.538-07:002009-08-29T06:37:36.538-07:00How do you get your crayon colored areas to have s...How do you get your crayon colored areas to have such deep, vibrant color?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.com
