Melting pastels

Another challenge caught my imagination this week, playing with Portfolio pastels by the very talented Helen Chilton.
I have previously melted wax crayons but never Portfolios.

I used bright colours on a ribbed black card and followed Helen's instructions. I varied it by adding some Frantage aged gold and then ran the crayons over the top to create lines.

I played about with stamping faces and melting onto different colours and shiny surfaces and these are my results. Just loved it and will play again with more knowledge.
Thanks Helen, loved it!
