Working on a demo I'm teaching tomorrow at
Stampadoodle and the Paper Cafe . What you see are beginning "translucent layers"...
The hearts are beeswax coated music pages, cut using my Big Kick. The yellowish page is a text page coated with beeswax. There are playing cards with dictionary pages glued on to demo the different between gel medium and beeswax, and a dictionary page on heavy art paper with a coat of warm white acrylic paint to muffle the text. You can also see the beeswax hunk on the plate I use to keep it from dripping on the table.
I promise to show more after the demo tomorrow, but don't want to give everything away. :)
And on another note, I could not resist this "reflection" shot, next to a trail that is most likely a bit drier when it hasn't been raining for several days. :) The word play will probably make sense to those in the USA. Here's a
hint for those who are not.
Happy Hump Day!

Have fun teaching your workshop Helen the hearts and pages look great. Hope to see you soon. Are you coming to Artzona this year? I must go and check the list on AFA Anita 42
I've yet to try beeswax on paper, but it looks like pretty cool results. I may have to experiment with some myself. Your reflection picture turned out really nicely.
