Thank-you for featuring me this week. I have worked with many different mediums but especially like 3 dimensional work and working with wax definately lends itself to just that. Had melted beeswax in a crockpot and added cake icing color which is very concentrated and edible to the pot. Was making small sculptures as in the big lips we chew as children. Was playing with collage and adding dried flowers and shells and coating with the beeswasx. It created a fine tint of pink when thinly applied Had quite a bit left over and used a torso I had for display and decided to decorate it with the wax. Upon coating it, found that by scraping some off it looked like skin with blood circulating. Added a vintage vine of beaded flowers. In turn took photos of her.
