Wax art

Here are just a few of my wax art , you will also see my oldest son making his first try at the old art form of wax art.





I put on worship music while I work the art work turns out even more amazing





Wax art you need high gloss card stock
Old hot travel iron to use olny on this
Wax blocks for this art esaly found online you can use crayons but you will need a lower temp on iron remember it's hot wax and a iron not for children
You will need news paper old rags to clean iron

Justin is applying wax to the iron taking care of his fingers not to touch the hot wax or hot iron.


Then place the loaded waxed hot iron over the paper pull , wiggle, pat how ever you want to make it

ITS BEEN LIKE FOREVER


Hello , its been ages ! hello everyone , how are you ? I hope that you all have been in good health . Have any of you been busy crafting , scrapbooking , enjoying your summer ?
Well the kids have been let out from school its been raining almost non stop ! the kids are feed up with no Sun shine to play in , I have been a bit feed up too , I know the rain helps make England so beautiful , but come one GOD give us some sun shine for the kids to go and do all their things that they want to do . join me in prayer for this one lol please lol .
As It continues to pour down the rain , the creativity tho seems to be flowing hot off the press , i supose this is a good thing , but i do know that when i got this room all organized i now know where things are , and got things out of packages , and i found a paper sorter , from a craft supply shop that had sadly closed down due to the economy its always sad to see the small shops struggling , but the blessing is that they are still online . but i got this paper sorter from them to help organized all my papers keep looking as i am uploads loads of photos from my scraproom


Well here is what i have been up to remodeling ,cleaning out my salon and scraproom I have taken some immages to show you , I still need to paint it but waiting for a warmer day as I would have to take things outside to paint it

THE PHOTOS BELOW

I have created two Acrylic scrapbooks and a scrapbook made from JVC video cassette cases (not just JVC but all brands )
as you can see below the two acrylic scrapbooks are made from Plexi glass ,and laminated sheets decorated with the mind of a see through book and pages while making these books you have to not only crate the page but the page behind it and eather cover or mask what you have done or to allow to show through the other side and also not putting much through the laminator as you will have a very smelly sticky mess and could potinually ruin your laminator , just keeping those things in mind while your creating
the plex glass sheets i got from Ebay they where 8x10 form but i was able to cute them down in to 4 pieces making sure that they are well messured out to match to use as the outer parts of you book , then you embellish at the end with the things that you like
tip also make sure that you use glue dots to hold it or doble sided sticky tape to hold it down things will be see though
then to use ribbion or gems or what ever you like sillicon glue works good too
pva glue works well but keep in mind your down time waiting for the glues to dry

the scrapbook that you see down below of a little girl on the front cover ( sticker)
that was used from the JVC covers cut down the sides of the boxes leaving the front and back of them ( the rest you can use for your kids to make stuff out of )or just throw away if you like
then making sure that you cover the whole item i used double sided sticky tape to put the cover on making sure i covered it all then i trimmed off the edges and embellished then i found my cropadile and punched holes in it and then put the metel rings on then decorate with ribbons and photos
