Hello everyone,
I will be at Crayola's booth at the TIA Toy Fair in NYC! If you're at the fair please stop by to say hi. Crayola asked me to do a crayon carving demo on a few smaller/regular crayons and one LARGE crayon. Aside from my regular techniques I'll work on my multi-colored crayons as well. This will be the first time I show how to create an image by combining colored waxes and make it stable. It's very much like an inlay technique and just just melting wax together.
I will be at the Crayola booth all day on Monday:
TOY FAIR 2014
Javits Center NYC
Booth: CPLM04 (first floor near registration and escalator)
Johnny Jump Up Flower or Tri Color Viola
One of my favorite flowers because it's so easy to grow. It's almost a weed in how vigorous it is, but so beautiful. This carving was done on a HUGE crayola crayon, weighing in at almost 2 pounds!
Detail shot of the design. This carving incorporates 9 different Crayola crayon colors. The work is done like an inlaying for wood. Channels or deep grooves are carved into the crayon then colored wax is melted into those channels. The excess are cut off and the surface made flush to reveal the design. This will be a fun process to see in person.
Another detail shot:
The design goes all they way around.
Camellia flower, the Chinese call it "Tea Flower" because tea is made from Camellia sinensis. It's an early blooming flower, usually the only color that's out when everything else is still covered in snow. A sign or rebirth and the Spring to come. This carving was done on a HUGE crayola crayon, weighing in at almost 2 pounds!
