I took a piece of paper, and drew a girl standing all alone in the middle of it.
That girl is me. Doesn't look like me, but it's me.
Then I made words go over her head, saying, "What Am I Thinking About".
This is what you can call an act of desperation to actually hear myself think, and not get mixed up in my busy brain.
After that, I began to think of stuff other than school (though there are a few statements in there that are very similar) and wrote them down in different colors.
The result: a colorful paper full of miscellaneous and random thoughts! I actually found that by doing this, it sort of took some away of the stress in me.
Now, onto the subject of crayons. One of the first tools you used as a tot. Perfect for making coloring pages look colorful. And, perfect for melting!
I needed to do something for my parents' anniversary, and finally I came up with melting crayons.
Weird, huh?
But the finished product was beautiful, and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again!
First, I bought canvas at a craft store, and then got out the Masking Tape. You know, that queer, light brown, sticky stuff.
On the table (very lightly. Don't do this if it makes your mom freak out), I arranged the tape overlapping each other.
Then I carefully peeled it off, and cut the top in an arch. Then I laid it on the canvas and pressed it down.
After that, I laid a strip of tape at the bottom of the canvas, and glued different colored crayons at the top with the glue gun.
Now for the fun part. I took the blow dryer, and melted those crayons. The tape prevented them from running down in those certain areas I had taped off.
Once it was melted and dry, I peeled off the tape. Then I painted two people under an umbrella, and words underneath.
I gave the picture to my parents, and they loved it.
