Beeswax Collage Class

Well, I wouldn't say that I have recovered from Ally Pally yet as it has been a mad week. Actually all my weeks seem to be mad at the moment. We unpacked the van on Monday, I had loads of trade orders to get out, some serious ordering needed to be done after selling out of a ton of stuff and I have been teaching back to back classes since Thursday, with another one tomorrow. I remembered to take piccies at today's class so I thought I would share the beautiful samples that my students made today.

First up Halina's.

Next, Halina's 11 year old daughter Alex

Followed by Sue

Then Chris M

Then Chris C

Then Carol

Then Lisa


And last, but not least Chris.....yes we really had three Chris's on today class!

Everyone did a fabulous job. I had found some beautiful birdie napkins in a local shop that were just perfect for this project. We stamped on some tissue paper with PaperArtsy and B Line stamps, also stamped straight on the wooden frames and then beeswaxed over it all. All the embellishments were made using Ten Seconds Studio moulds and embossing wheels on Pearl metal which was then coloured with acrylic paint and alcohol ink to match the backgrounds.....didn't they all do well, there was a lot to cram into this 5 hour class.

Tomorrow's class is mixed media jewellery......it's going to be a lot of fun!
