....i've used crayon staining before. and i am investigating it some more with stenciling. what if i use a stencil? that's all. still working with the trees.
regular black crayon on linen/cotton twill. freezer paper stencil. when you iron on the stencil, use the crayon while the fabric is still hot. it melts in and stains better. iron between paper towels or paper to remove wax, then iron again. withstands washing with minimal color loss. some colors stain better than others.
