September 2004 Idea of the Month

Crayon Resist

Here's a fun, easy new technique to try using crayons.

Supplies:

Stamps of your choice (line-image stamps work best)

Glossy paper

Inks of your choice

Rubber brayer

Crayon (any color)

Step 1:  Stamp and Prepare your Image

Stamp your image onto glossy paper.  Use any color crayon to highlight your image in selected areas (see photo above).

 Step 2: 

Use a rubber brayer to apply ink to the entire surface.  The crayon will resist the ink.  Then, use a rag or tissue to rub off the crayon, revealing your white highlights.  The crayon will rub right off!
