Beeswax & Butterflies

So, these are boring.  I was having trouble regulating the temperature of my beeswax and the layers not building and I'm not thrilled with the results.  BUT, I am hoping to learn how to do this technique properly and then maybe I can stop fighting with the medium long enough to let my creative muse out to play... next time.  Moving on...

Mind your own beeswax

These are my beeswax collaged ATC's for an upcoming Paper Traders swap. This was a kind of challenging technique and we made quite a mess while working. We also discovered that some wax is much better than others so I recommend paying for the premium stuff... much easier to work with! These all incorporate real flowers, leaves, seed pods, etc. and the wax gave everything a vintage look.
