Stop and smell the 'crayons' ?????????????

I have seen similar ones like this all over the web and

 thought I would give it a try.

WOW, super easy to create and lots of fun too!!!!

Who doesn't have broken crayons in their home 

if they have or had children, right..???

Most of the ones I have seen used new crayons. 

 I just couldn't bear to do that.

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

I can just imagine all the great artwork 

getting ready to flow out of the end of a new crayon. 

So, I gathered up all the broken crayons out of my daughters crayon box (she's a lot like me and prefers new ones too..) and then I picked all the greens and yellows that would fit vertically onto the canvas.

First, I chalked a very informal sky

 then hot glued all of the crayons down 

to resemble grass.

Turned the piece upside down and using my heat gun started to melt the crayons.  I didn't want a solid mass of color, 

but more of a grassy effect. 

Then I punched out some daisy flowers using white cardstock and adhered them to the canvas, after the crayons had cooled off, of course.

Then I glued buttons to the centers of all the flowers.

I'm still debating on whether or not to add a saying to the top or not.  

The whole time I was creating this I was thinking of a lady that I met this week on the movie set....she was also working as an extra. 

We became fast friends and the best part is she lives locally.

I think I will gift her with this creation as a way of reminding her to take time to stop and smell the crayons flowers.

I'm also entering this into the challenge at Jinger Adams blog.

She's gearing up for a new design team.

I know this is not strictly paper, but it gives her a good example that

I'm not afraid to try anything and 

I like to think outside the box(of crayons).

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Edited to add:  Sorry but I forgot to tell you that this is a canvas measuring 11" x 14"

Until later, crayonettes.......Gotta split.....TFL!!!!!
