Melting Crayons

How to make artwork like this?

ONE: Place several sheets of newspaper on ironing board;
TWO: Heat "utility" iron--not your household iron;
THREE:Select cardstock color & size; fold in half;
FOUR: Lay down a sheet of waxed paper larger than your cardstock over the newspaper protective sheets;
FIVE: Cut small pieces of your selected crayon colors; set aside;
SIX: Using ONE crayon color at a time, PARTIALLY MELT the crayon by placing in between the waxed paper sheets. While the crayon is still "wet", lift one side of the waxed paper and slide in your cardstock and complete the melting process, letting the color run.
SEVEN:Continue this process with your selected colors until satisfied with your design.

EIGHT: Allow your cardstock to cool before using.
