Mini Wax Canvas

Look at my teeny-tiny wax canvas!  
This critter is only 2" x 4".
Colored directly onto the canvas with some cheap-o crayons.  If I were to do this again I'd use better quality crayons - they would have more pigment. 
Melted the first layer with my heat gun.  The wax is shiny cause it is still hot.
Added more colors and kinda swirled it a bit -  
Finished off with some India Ink droplets and a book quote.  It is residing in the living room keeping company with some shells, rocks, a geode and a tiny pinecone.

    I like the idea of crayons and a heat gun and the way it transforms the colours - never tried. I love miniatures!

    Суупер идея!!!
    Моя подруга стружит мелки ножом, а потом это проглаживает утюгом. Интересный эффект получается :-))

    Интересно, а фен для эмбосинга растопит мелки?
