These are a couple of the pages of watercolour paper that I use to brush the egg onto my leaves as you can see when popped into the dye pot they come up beautifully. After a good drying and a few days of curing I have now covered them in hot wax and used them as book covers which have waxwd handmade pages.
And this is a first wax piece exploring excavation. The toxic yellow is an example of why not to use zinc white in this instance.
And this is the end result with just a little yellow now covered with titanium white.
A little display
and this one has excavation on one side a strip of handmade paper down the centre and some nice scratching on the right.
I am having so much fun with the online wax class with Judy Wise, there is a link on my sidebar for anyone wanting to check it out.
