Day 31: Green

This was a lot of fun to make!  First I removed the entire wrapper and cut it into strips. I broke a very small portion of the tip off so I would have something to draw with, than I took out my big fireplace lighter and melted the rest of the crayon.  When it got too small to hold and melt, I stuck a toothpick in the end and melted the rest.

This is what developed from collaging the wrapper and drawing around the drips.  My daughter says it look like amoebas.  I agree that there is some feeling of growth and movement - metamorphosis even.   I feels freer and less controlled from the previous few drawings - I like that.  I needed that.
