Wax-a-bility

Yes, a good art day starts with a cuppa tea

 

and then we get to add the creativity and the wax !!

Day 2 of the altered book with wax continues...

These 2 pages are done using the really lovely pigment colors from the Miles Conrad collection of encaustic wax.

My friend Judy Stabile created the face which I added to my book.

The face in this page is done with a transfer to wax technique

Here's Judy creating the process

She works on a hot palette and uses Encaustic wax sticks

Then, because she's working on a hot palette and drawing with the wax sticks everything stays liquid so she can create a monoprint transfer

*********

Here are some other pages from my book

and, some of the other students work...like hand stitching

front of the book cover, all waxed

 (student) Julie did some 'digging' and created quite an interesting paper dimension

Terri (she's below on L) made a wonderful waxed gift card

and her altered book

her book cover (check out the Perfect Pearls Mists) over wax

and, of course there was class nourishment...!!

There's so much more to show you....so...after some retail therapy tomorrow I'll blog a bunch more....show you what Wendy's been up to !!! You'll love it.
