Bosc Pear (detail)
I like the way this one turned out, including the little stamp. It’s a little different from what I’m used to doing with watersoluble crayons, in that I used very little water (just the fading of the edges at the top). What I did was layer and blend the crayon with my fingers (I used Portfolios, which are ridiculously smushy), then wipe away as much as possible with a paper towel. That left pretty much just the stained paper.
The stamp was an afterthought, made with an eraser and an Xacto knife. I will never, ever be a printmaker, because I find the inverted backwardness of it frustrating, so eraser stamps are about as much as I can manage.
