GETTING WAXY

I HAD THE PLEASURE THIS PAST FALL TO TAKE SOME ON LINE CLASSES WITH THE WONDERFUL AND VERY TALENTED LESLEY VENERABLE OF THE ART OF ALTERING....One of the classes was working with GOOD OLE RELIABLE WAX PAPER.... YOU KNOW THE KIND MOTHER USED TO WRAP YOUR SANDWICHES UP WHEN YOU WHERE IN GRADE SCHOOL  (ARE YOU STILL FOLLOWING ME OR AM I SHOWING MY WISDOM?)
I FOUND THAT I LOVED THIS NEW MEDIA FOR WINTER AS I WAS ABLE TO CRINKLE OR WRINKLE IT UP, LAYER IT AND SMEAR IT WITH PAINT AND GLITTER SO THAT IT WOULD SPARKLE  GLISTEN LIKE SNOW




OLE ST NICK WALKING IN THE SNOW


WAS THE THEME TO MY HOLIDAY CARDS

LAYERING THE WAX PAPER, I WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE EFFECT OF DIMENSION  AND DEPTH BECAUSE OF THE TRANSPARENCE

REMEMBER TISSUE PAPER CARNATION FLOWERS?, WELL THANKS TO LESLEY VENERABLE WHO TRANSLATED THEM IN WAXY CREATIONS.... I DECORATED MY  NEW YEARS TABLE


IN RHODE ISLAND WE ADD ADDITIONAL  BEES WAX WITH A HOT IRON TO ADHERE LEAVES AND FLOWERS BEWTEEN TWO  LAYERS OF BROWN WAX PAPER FOR A VINTAGE LOOK.  THEN WE SEWED AROUND  THEM FOR A UNIQUE LOOK AS A PAGE IN A BOOK 

TO KEEP TO A WINTERY THEM I ADD THE WAX PAPER TO CORRUGATED  PAPER FOR ATC'S


START PLAYING WITH IT AND YOU TOO WILL BEE ADDICTED LIKE I AM.... HAPPY WAXING!
