DOVES [Kingdom of Rust]
I'm now looking into using different textures to give my work a greater appeal to those with limited senses [TOUCH]. . .
In an effort to replicate the rusty texture of a barrel, I decided to melt crayons on paper, using an iron. The result looked good but in relation to how it felt . . . . well the melted wax clumped to produce a bumpy, blotchy effect which felt waxy to touch. It may not be very textural but it was something simple to begin with and also LOTS OF FUN!
I used a cheese grater, greaseproof paper,
crayons, ironing board, iron and a large sheet of white paper.
I started by grating a green crayon onto the paper.
I decided to mix it with yellow.
Placing the greaseproof paper on top, I melted the crayon.
The result looked something like this.
The setup in the kitchen.
Super fun time with crayons. :P
Adding more colours. . . . . . .
Because of the consistency of the crayon, the paper was translucent around the waxy spots,
so it was see through under bright light!
Really love these shots. :)
