This is my first attempt at using wax.
I PVA 4 different pieces of fancy tissue
paper then waxed some script, a zen quote,
a vintage photo, a defeniton for friends.
I waxed on 2 of the tissue cast shoes, a tyvek
bead I made and a few bits and bobs.
I used some metalic red,green and some
gold over the was to blend the pic together..
It sure is a messy process, I put the
beeswax in the crock pot. Then had to use
my heat gun to smooth the wax around.
I think I have to get a small travelling iron
which would make it easier to smooth
things out..
All and all I do like how it turned out..

Dianne, I like how it turned out too. It's very pretty to look at. I've always loved how wax made everything appears more vibrant. I found that when I accidentally left my crayons in the car during summer time.
lots of eye candy in this one Dianne. It turned out great.
Dianne this piece is really really good .. I am loving the work you did on it ... your work just keeps on getting better .. great colours on this one.
bet it even looks better in person.

Hi Dianne - Thanks for dropping by my new blog! You made my day. I really like all the greens in this piece and teh Tyvek bead particularly caught my eye. It looks as though a lot of work was involved in creating this collage. Ciao for now, Debbi B
I like using beeswax - I use it on my cloth dolls often.
I like your piece of art here, I like the colours and the patina from the wax.
Hi Dianne,
I really love this piece. Love the tyvek beads. Great job!
very very cool Dianne, I love what wax does to the surface when I am doing paper too. Although I must admit I tend to use acrylic wax.
Thanks for all your encouragment btw.
