Maddo's Apple Art

Maddo decided to enter the Washington Apple Association Art Contest. She has worked hard on several projects over the last few months. Here are the two that she finally decided to submit. The top one is called "Hungry For Apples" and the second one is called "Apple Array." The top one is cool, but you can't tell because she did it with melted crayons. She put paper on the electric pancake griddle and then after it was warm she drew on the paper with the crayons. She drew slowly and so the wax melted and left bold, vivid lines that covered the paper in a thick layer. I highly recommend this art form. It's really fun and it looks cool and the smoothness feels neat as you draw, and it smells really good too. (That is if you like the smell of crayons -- which I do from happy childhood memories) Just make sure you put a cookie sheet between the griddle and the paper because the oil from the wax sometimes seeps through the paper and can leave colors on the griddle. The day after we did this, whe had a few lovely, multi- colored pancakes!
