Another attempt at hot wax frames

I think I am offically hooked on these hot wax frames. I picked up these two on the clearance table. Brought them home and sanded them up a bit. I put a layer of hot wax on first, then wrapped the frame in homemade paper I had sitting around. I then put another layer of hot wax on top. If you brush on the hot wax, you will need to fuse each layer with your heat gun. Just slightly until a shine comes up. If you use the hot wax stylus tool, you can skip that part as the tool does the work for you. Pretty neat huh? To embellish. I waxed a couple of slik leaves and then layered two flowers on top with a little bling. These I glued on with Aileens this holds on the wax. The other frame I just used some hinges from Tim Holtz grungeboard collection. I distressed them a little and put on a light coat of perfect pearls (copper). The knob is a wood bead with a brad, also brushed with perfect pearls. So simple, so fun.

Cyndi's Beeswax Projects Posted by: "Cyndi Szalma" http://us.mc820.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=clszalma@sbcglobal.net&Subject=cyndi61012 Thu Jan 15, 2009 7:35 am (PST) Thank you for the nice comments. These were the first things I ever posted, but I am hooked on bees wax!The mat was already a burgundy color. I just bees waxed a coating a few times fusing in between each. I then made four divisions (uneven) with the edge of the stylus. The top left corner has some color added (green wax) then I added an embellishment from Tim Holtz Grungeboard ideaology collection. That gave it the look I was looking for. On top of the swirl I kept adding beeswax so that it was encased. The other corner is beeswax drops with Pearl-Ex. The other two corners are impressions from a metal screen I had found. (This suggestion was actually my husbands!) The frame was an older wooden frame I had. On this I used brown and red crayons melted with the stylus. A brass stencil was used to indent for texture and I used the beeswax drops with Pearl- Ex also. I was really happy with the results.Cyndi[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

These were the fun projects I completed using the hot wax stylus tool. They were done with bees wax, some crayons, and grungeboard, Pearl-Ex, and then buffed to shine. Texture, by using an old metal screen. This was great fun

Can't believe it is already 2009. Time certainly flies. The end of the year was cerainly busy. My father-in-law passed away and we took care of my mother-in-law for a couple of months. During that time I started playing with my hot wax stylus tool for Kandi Corp. Oh what fun. I am completely hooked! I posted a few of the projects I finished on Suze Weinberg's yahoo group. I will try to post some on my blog soon. As you can tell I am not a very good blogger. I need to be more active at it. I am so inspired by all the blogs I do read. We have such talent out there. Keep it up
