Hey!I just launched a Kickstarter Grant for my school in Pender County. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1501831692/warrior-gaming-lair-motivation-and-achievement-via We would like to create space at West Pender Middle School specifically for gaming.  This would be a safe haven where students can hang out, interact with each other, and support learning through gaming.  This space would be equipped with current gaming systems and games related to what they are learning in the classroom.  This lair would be specifically designed for group activity, club use after school, cool down spaces for students when emotions run high, and a multitude

:wave: Welcome to :icondanbo-addict:
I'm very glad to have you on board!
Thank you, kindly! The photos in this group are incredibly amusing!
Thanks or the fave! :)
Thank you so much for the fave and the lovely comment! I really appreciate it, especially from someone so talented.

You have a beautiful gallery, keep up the great work :)
Hey, no problem! By the looks of your gallery, I think we have quite a bit in common. Though I don't spell my name with an 'h'. I am curious about your melted crayon pieces...did you use a hair dryer to melt the crayons? I think I may need to create a piece like this!
I think we do too, although you're much more talented with airbrushing and spray painting than I am, haha.

About the melted crayon pieces, they're very easy and I have a short instructional tutorial in the comments here: [link]
I really should just make a true tutorial, but that's work :P

If you go through with it, let me know how the piece turns out!
Hiya i was just looking through your gallery and you have some very nice work in it. The Amy Winehouse stencil caught my eye. Not because of the subject i cant stand her (sorry) but the fact its on plexiglass. Thats the same as perspex right? So did you do the stencil in reverse i.e. last layer first on the reverse side finishing with your background? I had a wee dabble with perspex a few months ago but i think i was maybe trying to run before i could walk and the result wasnt great but you do get a very smooth clean looking finish. I would be interested to hear how you got on with it, but if your not for sharing your tecnique i undersatand ;)
