Abstract

Abstract A process for creating a work of art from a base medium, crayon and ink that comprises selecting a base medium that affords a surface to which crayon and ink can adhere, applying a crayon to the surface of said base medium, removing from the surface of said base medium any excess crumbs of crayon that failed to firmly adhere to the surface of said base medium, applying ink over the surface of the areas of crayon and the surface of the areas of the base medium that are free of crayon, removing substantially all the ink other than a thin film of ink from the surface of the areas of crayon and the surface of the areas of the base medium that are free of crayon before the ink is allowed to dry, allowing the thin film of ink to dry on the surface of the areas of crayon and the surface of the areas of base medium that are free of crayon, and rubbing the surface of the areas of crayon and the surface of the areas of the base medium that are free of crayon to remove a portion of the dried ink and produce a sheen to the work of art.
