The Green Pepper Press Street Team Crusade No.21 - Irresistible, is all about crayons so you know I have to participate in this one. You make rubbings with crayons and then paint over it for a wax resist effect. Of course I used a pink crayon! But not you everyday pink crayon. This one has glitter in it. I found it in my box of crayons and I think it belonged to one of my Grandson's when they lived with us. I chose to rub puzzle pieces.
Before using the pink crayon I tried rubbing with a copper crayon, so you can see parts of it in the background.
Here you can see the glitter more clearly.
This is the actual color of the piece. All of these are the same piece of art but photographed in different locations with different light sources. I used purple acrylic paint with varied dilutions with water.If you hold it to the light and turn it, the copper pieces come through. A fun project. Thanks Michelle!

This looks so fun. I think I'm gonna do it. And how clever of you to use puzzle pieces. But any of us would have guessed that you would use pink.
Suze - welcome to the team! Thanks for joining in on the crusade and showing us your puzzle rubbing. Great element. I didn't even notice your blog title at first - duh! OF COURSE you would use a Pink Crayon *grin*
Hi Suze,
I love the glittery pink ! So girlie ! The puzzle piece was a great idea. I am sure I have some of those hanging around... Thanks for sharing it !
Cheers,
Kim

I enjoyed your crusade #21 post! I'm thinking you had a fun time doing it too! I'm amazed at how many neat ideas there are to get rubbings!
Have a great hair day! Becci
Aren't the glitter crayons great? I found one and went nuts with it. Such fun! And using puzzle pieces is such a clever idea. Is thinking outside the box what "think pink" really means?
Puzzle pieces...COOL!!!!! What an awesome idea.
Suze - Hadn't thought of puzzle pieces - though I use them for other things. Will have to pull some out. Also love the pink glitter crayon. - Nicki
