Beeswax and UTEE are two totally different animals BUT that doesn't mean you can't use them together on a project..
as long as you don't melt them together !!!
They are not compatible nor do they melt at the same temperature. UTEE needs high heat and Beeswax low heat.
This is a napkin collage, done on wood. A thin layer of Claudines Multi Medium was applied to the wood and the napkin was placed over it.
then I stamped the letters and the flourish using Ranger Black pigment ink.
The texture was also stamped but then I threw some gold UTEE over it and heated gently.
I used a small brush to 'color in the alphabet' with melted wax straight from the Melting Pot
the horizontal color strips are ribbon which was added as a last step with some areas being embossed over.
a few random rhinestones or it wouldn't be a "Suze" piece !!
I dusted the waxed areas with Ranger Perfect Pearls
then...I lightly sprayed the whole piece with Ranger Colorwash
some Platinum UTEE
**********
now, speaking of UTEE
and speaking of gorgeous....
My friend Kathy Nycz sent me a gift using one of the molds she got from me...she hand made this necklace...I am completely freaked out...this is incredible and I LOVE it to death!!!
a true example of someone who completely knows and understands my taste !!
Kathy my friend (of many years) your work gets better and better if that's even possible !!
thank you so so much !!!
and now I'm off to think about packing...
off to CHA on Saturday !
Love the wax pieces...and the jewelry is gorgeous!
