Time to go back in time... second time around!!

Sorry... this time it's USA only

I have been picking up crayons everywhere in the house lately! I have boxes and boxes of crayons from when the kids needed them for school... new and used! (Ya know how you HAVE to buy a new box every year?!!)

Anyway... this swap is dedicated to all of those crayons laying around that we just don't use because of all of the other mediums, like watercolor, markers, acrylics, we have adopted!

Send a postcard to your partners. Design/decorate it using crayon.... pull out some of those old crayon favorites, like crayon resist or make your own scratch board.

Please stick to crayons that are used in primary grades... like Crayola, Prang, Rose Art. Crayons made from wax or soy. I have found out that there are many crayons out there which is awesome! But for this swap, please stick to the old fashioned crayons!

** This is a homemade postcard! Create your own design and write a message on the back to your partner.. maybe tell them about the technique you used or a childhood memory about crayons or such **

Sender's choice in design!

Two partner, two postcards. Have fun!!

Interesting swap! Is mixed media incorporating crayon acceptable too, or is it straight crayon?

Straight crayon. I think sealing it with something would be a good idea. You could alter the crayoned image by layering or cutting/punching/embossing. The main them is to create using crayons. If embellishing detracts from the crayon, I would say to avoid it. Thanks for asking!
