When you spend time with friends, it is very special and today was one of those fun, special days melting wax and experimenting together.
Recently, Suze Weinberg did a video on applying wax in a grid fashion using different colors. Her piece was so stunning that we had to try it. Keep in mind, this was a first attempt and you learn as you proceed, often removing wax in error or dripping one color where it was not intended.
We used tape to section off our wood blocks and started adding wax. When it was pretty much as desired, we used rubber stamps to create texture and Perfect Pearls and PearEx to bring out the high spots. Lastly, I added the small black rub-on to mine.
Tomorrow or whenever, I will go back and smooth out the edges to make it more attractive.
Thanks, Barb, for a very fun day!

PS. When I showed Jim my wax art he said, "It took all day and that's all you did? What is it?"

This is stunning, Carolyn...did you use colored beeswax? It is fabulous...!
Well, I think it looks cool! Could you use colored candles to get the same effect, or must it be beewax?
