Beeswax Collage class



I was asked to pick one face image and 2 patterned papers. Then i though of a design. I used a thick board as a base then coated it with melted wax. Next I layed white tissue paper or japanese paper over then added another coating of wax on top. Then i used melted crayons to do the colored background, then i layed the back most collage images first. Using less wax as adhesive, i used a travel iron or a quilting iron to help set the crayons and excess wax. I added the rest of collage images making sure to apply heat sources each time to set the layer for the next one. Lastly i finished my work by adding stamp ons on tissue paper and added this to the collage. I also added a button as my final decor.
