Last week, I decided to play with Beeswax. It was the first time playing with the beeswax here at home. I have taken a class, and created a collage on a canvas, but that was about it. Kind of different working with a smaller piece in making the atcs. Below are some that I created.
For this I placed the background, then layered on the focal image, layering wax in between and using it as an adhesive. Lastly, I added embellishments. Sealed the entire piece to complete the process.
A difference I did notice is that I used the beeswax pellets here at home in a small crockpot. The wax from the pellets tend to leave a milky appearance, which I really didn't want. In the class I participated in, we used chuncks of beeswax provided by the instructor, which dried cleared and actually smelled so more like beeswax. So you may want to experiment with different types of beeswax if you have the availability.
