Splatter Art

    This is one of my Jackson-Pollock-inspired pieces. I made this at school when we were doing a unit on him. Conviently, my 6th grade play was about Jackson Pollock and I was his evil mother. And like the play, this art was fun to do. Though it was a little messy, it turned out great! I highly suggest making one of these!

Duct Tape Flowers

These are Duct Tape flowers that I learned how to do from YouTube. They're really easy to make, and each one took me about a half hour to make. I've made 5, but I sold one and someone at my bus stop stole another (grrrr....)So yeah! I'll put the link to the video below and it will (hopefully) work!

Paper Towel Flowers


       The posts I have aren't necessarily in the order of the time I made the art, so here's another piece I made. These are paper towel roses. They're quite easy to make, they just take a while. I took a spray paint machine and sprayed a little color on the top, but if you were to make these I don't suggest doing that. Thanks!

Melted Crayon Art

Since this is my first time blogging, bear with me. So I started this blog so that people I know (or people I don't) could have an easy time accessing my artwork. This piece of art was my pride and joy, and then I sold it.
To make it, get these materials:


A canvas (any size)
A box of Crayola Crayons
A Hair Dryer
A Hot Glue Gun


Soak the crayons in water to get the labels off, line them up in rainbow order, hot glue them to the top of the canvas, turn on the hair dryer and point it down so the wax runs down, and Ta-da! In about 30 min you'll have a masterpiece! Hope you liked my very first post!
