Today is a very sad day, it is the last day of my baby sister’s vacation (She lives 1400 km away!) at our house! It’s always fun when ‘Aunty K’ comes! The kids love going to the park, shopping and being photographed by their aunt! When she leaves, she still remains a huge part of their lives. Besides the phone calls and video chats, she is also their pen pal! We send and receive cards every holiday, gift boxes on birthdays and at Christmas and of course they are always sending her artwork that they make at school. This time when Aunty K came she brought artwork of her own for my kids. It is beautiful and we can’t wait to hang it on the wall!
Aunty K was nice enough to share the secrets behind her masterpiece for me to share with all my readers!
3D Crayon Artwork

Glue Gun and Glue

A large box of crayons (remove the unwanted colours if desired)

June 26, 2013 at 12:39 amAww! Love my little monkeys! I love getting art from them, I save them all and always hang some on my fridge! Glad I could share some artwork with them!
This project is super easy to do and the possibly are endless, it’s something you can’t really mess up. Every way looks good, so just experiment and see what you can do!
Miss you guys already! Can’t wait for more art and to see you again!

June 26, 2013 at 2:51 pmAww… it’s so hard when family lives far away, but what lovely art to keep close to you! I have seen variations on this technique, but that is the prettiest example I have seen yet. I love it!

June 26, 2013 at 8:04 pmThat’s a really good piece of art work. I like it better than the usual drip crayon artwork you see on pinterest.

June 26, 2013 at 9:11 pmThat is just too cute! I have never seen one like this. I have seen the crayons where they come from the top but not arranged like this. I love it!
