The picture is something I've been working on for quite awhile. I took inspiration from a few different pictures, but it was all totally drawn by me. It's supposed to look like my oldest son. I guess it's how I imagined his first kiss will be, and the girl is supposed to look like the girl I imagined it would be with, but it must not look too much like her because my son and my husband didn't recognize her, so I said I made her up. We'll see how psychic I am.
Anyway, I colored it in crayon, set it, then embroidered everything in brown with a backstitch.
I forgot my camera at friends' house, so it's a scan, hence the little ripples.

I literally colored with normala crayons (crayola I believe) then I put paper towel under it and over it and ironed. I changed the paper towels when they were coated with greasy wax. I continued to do this until it didn't come off on the paper towel anymore. I think I used 3-4 paper towels.
I also threw it in the dryer on hot just to be sure it was set. I don't know if it did anything, but in my head it seemed like a good idea =)
