Working With Beeswax in Mixed Media Art

Beeswax is brushed on top of the paper also.

3. Melted beeswax is used to adhere 3-D objects.

4. Sample canvas board of beeswax technique.

Creating a Stamp From a Foam Kneeling Pad

5. A foam garden kneeling pad is heated with a heat gun for about 20-30 seconds and then immediately pressed with a textured object.
Caution! Be very careful when heating foam to avoid injuries.
