My mom brought me this small painting back from Arizona. She met a woman, Tevila Rockwell, who uses melted crayons to paint with. If I remember correctly she used toothpicks to apply the crayon to cardstock. I googled her name but couldn't find any information on her at all.
I really like the texture of it and the colors used; it looks very southwestern to me. Happy Cactus Monday to you all! Head on over to Teri's blog to see more cactus art and pictures.

I ordered your book the other day. I don't have kids in my life so the book is for me ;)
