Melted Rainbow - Susan Kimball





Hi guys! I don't know what got into me today but I've been thinking about melting crayons and making some art with them. I read online things to do with kids (staying safe) and decided to throw caution to the wind and experiment.
I picked colors I likes, broke them up, put them individually in dixie cups and microwaved them. I almost had a fire at one point, spilled molten crayons on the porch floor and spread toxic crayon fumes through the house. I think I got rid of the urge to work with melted crayons.
I poured the melted mess onto a sheet of broken glass I had laying around and then photographed 2 of them-one on black material behind the glass, another on a similar colored watercolor I did years ago and one on the scanner looking at the piece from behind.
What do you guys think? I'm done with this but dreamt about another image that I might tackle next.
