'work with crayons. you can mold them, melt them, grate them, color with them, or...?'

this suggestion instantly brought back memories of putting paper on a hot surface and drawing while crayons melt. i was at my moms and got out her pancake griddle, found my nieces crayon box and grabbed some white card stock. the polka-dots on the 3rd snail were added by my 19 year old brother, tanner. he said it looked better that way. he then decided to make his own...the 4th picture is a thunder/lightning cloud raining snails. he insisted i added it to the blog, so here it is. the first column of pictures is taken held up to a light, while the pictures in the second column are not. this brought back some fun childhood memories. and a tip for anyone who might try this...make sure you use crayon brand - the other 2 brands that were mixed in didn't work nearly as well. one was rose art and i don't remember the other. and low heat works fine!
