The sun is shining and it is a balmy 40 degrees! I am slowly thawing out from the three weeks of below 20 degrees! Is anybody gonna offer me some cheese to go with my whine?
Well, today I have been playing with beeswax. Burned myself only twice. I bought Claudine Hellmuth's
book Collage Discovery Workshop a few years ago and thought I would experiment with Technique 1
in chapter 3, Having Fun with Beeswax! This chapter is about "painting" with the beeswax and using
acetone to make transfers. I found that when the substrate is firm the transfer works better and turns out
sharper. I tried the first attempt on a stretched canvas. Needless to say it is now in the file "C" for crap!!!!!
I think the second attempt worked out pretty well. What do you think?
Buy Claudine Hellmuth's book and experiment with beeswax you will have fun and tell me about your
"creative beeswax journey"! Have fun and thanks for looking! Becci
