If you want to make your own crayons, how can you predict which materials
are likely to have this undesirable property?

I can't help wondering why anyone would bother making
their own crayons - one of the cheapest of cheap
art materials.

Do a google search for "how to make crayons", as I did, and you'll see
some of the creative ideas people have for making crayons and some of
the reasons they have for making them.

I can't help wondering why anyone would bother making
their own crayons - one of the cheapest of cheap
art materials. In order to understand the makeup of
various dyes and pigments used in traditional art
mediums, you need to do your homework. Just about
everything needed can be found on various web sites
devoted to the subject of color. Start with web site
