Towel Using Depression-era Crayon Art with EGA Brandywine Chapter

This is the finished 27″ sack cloth with one of the leaves enlarged in the center. Thanks again to Patrick B who led this excursion into Crayon Art or Crayon Tinting for the EGA Brandywine Chapter. It was popular in the 1930s and demonstrated the resilience of creativity throughout the Depression. This will serve as a towel hanging next to our basement sink. Heat set the crayon (a paper towel protected the iron). It is washable and may fade over time but that’s ok.

Today I lead lacing canvas onto bars and then a small Or Nue piece.
