    Wonderful video.
    Your presentation is great and I live that there is no canned music.
    There's too much noise these days.
    It was nice just hearing you talk without all the background noise❤

    My dear mother taught me this 73 years ago, though she didn’t have any pigment pens! After my first attempts, which she sewed as dresses for my dolls, we did designs on dish towels and on cloths for the dresser tops. It was so much fun! Gosh, l still love the smell of Crayola Crayons! I did it with my kids, too. Sadly, my granddaughter wasn’t interested at all, she couldn’t sit still for activities other than the tv. Ten years after that her little brother couldn’t pay attention to my brief attempt to explain what l had in mind for us, his mind was on his Xbox and VR. So this simply shows that times change, and not always to the benefit of our abilities and skills.

      The kids are used to getting things faster. Food, entertainment, and with all the gadgets to play with, it's no wonder no one wants to just sit and do one thing over and over. That's boring maybe to this set of youngsters, but I enjoy coloring. I taught art in middle school and using crayons I squeezed as much creativity from my students as I could. There is no medium better than crayons to express your creativity. Prang was the best brand and I recommend you try them. Colors are more vibrant. Thank you for showing this technique. I can't wait to see what I can do. This is going to be fun.

    I have a quilt that was my Grandma’s that has flowers colored with crayons on muslin with strips of pink cotton between. I’m almost 70, and my Grandma would be 130, so this is a very old quilt! It is one of my beloved treasures! I can tell you that the colors really hold up over time - and gentle wear.

    Your artwork looks like you are an artist! Your pumpkin and flowers are beautiful with the shading! This really makes me want to try this technique!
    My mother was a young child in the late 1920’s. Her grandmother brought her muslin scraps from the cotton mill where she worked. Her grandmother then showed her how to take flower designs from the newspaper and trace them onto the fabric. My mother outlined the drawing with a simple stitch in embroidery floss. She then colored in the flowers with crayons. I don’t know the brand. I guess she could have colored them years later. She did not do any shading. I used to enjoy looking at these scraps of fabric with the pretty flowers. When my mother was in her early 70’s, I asked her what she had planned to make with the flowers. She said she had always wanted to make a quilt with green fabric around the blocks. I took them and did just that! I gave it to her for Mother’s Day about 6 months later! She was shocked and overjoyed! She had it on her bed for a while, but it has hung on my wall for about 30 years. I had a good bit of sewing experience, but it was my first quilt. I hand quilted it. It still looks just like it did then.

    I made my first quilt using coloring books, a mix of cotton and polyester knit fabrics and Crayola Crayons after seeing a episode on a sewing show in 1996. My nephew and later my niece loved that quilt and refused to give it up .... I would periodically refresh the coloring on it to keep it bright every couple of years..... Last time I saw that quilt the knit fabrics had shredded and I had to patch the quilt but the kids would not let me throw it away.

    I’ve done a simplified version of this with 8 year olds to teach embroidery. We trace from a coloring book page, color, iron, and then embellish with stem stitch, back stitch, French knots, etc. we do the embroidery in a hoop then gather the extra fabric from the back and they can hang it up!

      Try Dawn dishwashing liquid first - the original blue Dawn - the other scents/colors aren't as good. 20 years ago, I got 3 huge grease spots on my favorite winter pullover. Spent 3 years only wearing it around the house. Made a Home Depot run which resulted in running out to my parents and my mother was genuinely horrified at my shirt being she is severely OCD regarding stains on clothing. She told me to use Dawn, rinse and scrub under warm water then throw in a normal wash. Now, I weekly check for stain, work Dawn in, let sit one hour and stains come out, occasionally requiring a second treatment. You can even put the Dawn on the stain, toss in hamper and wash days later.

    I saved all my 6 kids broken crayons and placed them into silicone ice tray shapes in random colors and melted them in mv watching carefully and then toddlers have pretty colors to color with w/o breaking. I've also melted in clean cans before and poured candles with them. Also nice to put them in color chunks into melted clear jar sealing paraffin for chunky candles. Crayons are so much fun! I was overjoyed as a child to get a new box once a year for Christmas!

    Hi🙂
    Ten years ago when I first started silk painting we were shown a technique where you iron the silk onto the plastic side of the freezer paper and then you apply the silk dyes or silk paints. Once finished you'd either steam the dyes to heat set or iron heat set the paints. My daughter and I named the technique "watercolor".
    You could use Derwent's Inktense, but it's a bit more expensive than Crayola Crayons.
    Nice technique and cute illustrations 😊

    • @DanielaMellen

    When I was 12 years old I used crayons to draw in a piece of fabric, then I used a paper over the drawing and ironed it. Nobody taught me. I'm old now, it was before others did it.

    Quilters have been doing this for a very long time using both these methods. You can also use watercolor pencils and markers setting that with textile medium and water 50/50. Then heat set with an iron after drying.

    • @DanielaMellen
      @DanielaMellen  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Great tips! Thank you. I have always been in awe of quiliters - both modern day and througout history. Quilting is such a loving, functional, and maternal art. I think it's one of the most underated art forms.

    I did a lot of this back in the 80’s. I did pillows and pillow case for my bed. I used wax paper. The only thing is be careful with the tiny crayon bits that they are all gone, or they leave tiny specks everywhere.

    We did something similar to this when I was younger except we coloured our pictures right onto the wax paper and then transferred to fabric with an iron.

    If your country doesn’t have freezer paper, I find in Australia the shiny paper around a ream of copier paper does the same job.

    Fabtastic tip, I’m going to use it right away! I was wondering how I could make the patterns I need on scraps of white cotton fabric rather than look for and buy several different fabrics, as I’m making Halloween witch dolls and I want to give them striped socks and whatnot!

    • @DanielaMellen
      @DanielaMellen  ปีที่แล้ว

      Great idea! It's a great way to personalize and find the exact fabric/pattern you like.

    Thank you for such an inspiring video-never knew! I used to melt crayons in an improvised double boiler & paint the melted wax on small candles, votive lights! Gave them as Christmas gifts😊this video made me subscribe right away!😘

  • @Nittyb123
    @Nittyb123 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So much potential here excellent, a few years ago I did a freezer paper stencil, and sprinkled multi coloured crayon shavings around the outer edge and pressed it, that t shirt is still going strong. Now you have given me the idea to do a embroidery line design and then fill in with crayon, I'm now thinking t shirts, tote bags, zipper pouches, fabric shoes. Thank you for reminding me of this method. Tip for anyone- if you spill candle wax on your carpet, this is the same way you get it out, paper and hot iron.

    • @DanielaMellen
      @DanielaMellen  ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow! All these 62 years of mine and I never saw this. I was a crayons queen! I melted crayons on my dads furnace and give him a headache. Then I grew up using polychromos by faber castell and then when I made shirts and decorated I used fabric acrylic ain’t. Never did I think crayons could be used. I’m so excited about this. I love the way you use sandpaper for traction and that is a genius thing for many other ideas. I enjoyed your video. You are different. I’m an artist not a crafter and I know there is a big difference. I feel crafters love the mess. Glue guns, drippy paints and tearing paper are their excitement. I’m all into the image. Colored pencils or drawing ink but no mess. I don’t do pastels that are dusty and make my fingers messy. Just art drawings with a variety of clean mediums. I love your video. Clean, understandable and beautiful. I will probably subscribe to you today Sunday October the 8,2023.
