BOO! (mind your own beeswax.)

Have you ever used beeswax in your artwork? I've been experimenting with this technique, and today incorporated some stenciling into the process. Thanks to The Crafters Workshop stencils for inspiration.

This wax is a little more milky than I'd like, but I'm still enjoying the depth it adds.

The tiny canvas is 3x5, with some paint pen and melted crayon to start. with an additional layer using the TCW stencil Dahlia Blooms 6x6 stencil (designed by Marlene Meijer-van Niekerk), using black ink.

A little Altered Pages collage and a "Boo!", attached with a layer of wax.

Some stars, and glitter around the edges.

Boo!

Check back all month for more stencily inspiration with The Crafter's Workshop!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
