Description media: melted crayon wax and oil paint on canvas

Note: When crayons are hot enough to melt, they are hot enough to burn.
Note.2: When using a blowdrier, wax doesn't just drip; it flies.

I have a question....
I'm doing a melted crayon art piece somwhat like this, and I was dying to know, HOW IN THE WORLD...did you get the crayon wax to go AROUND the girl and her unbrella and not OVER her?

Tape! I simply taped over where I didn't want the wax to go :] Blue painter's tape worked very nicely

Very nearly; I just painted the crayons to look like clouds, and will be updating the picture very soon.

This is really cool. Was this a project for school?

Yup! Part of the Exquisite Corpse project, but I completely painted over the previous painting, because there wasn't really much I could do with it.
