Todays makes.
Last week I started to trap things in wax, but I used soya wax (my candles of preference), and it failed miserably. The wax just wouldn't stay whole as I pushed it out of the molds.
So I tried melting some other old candles and...it worked - YAY!
I dangled the results from my studio window.
I also used a heart shaped ice cube mould to melt wax into.
I have created lots of these. The hearts contain words (positive emotions) which ground us and the wings, which are hand drawn and coated with wax, negative emotions - which need to FLY.
Just need to decide how to display them.
Still not got my camera, but I am having fun with instagram on my phone.

Great to hear how your new environment is inspiring you. Looking forward to seeing more beautiful creations, clever lady.
3D is good! It's the new old thing!
Uh-oh.
Jen - thank you :)
Trish - it still feels a bit strange, but I am gradually getting used to it
Steve - ;)
Tom - ha ha! - and would you believe it one of the other artists I share with works in stone too. There is a brilliant 3D workshop there.
these are brilliant...I never thought of molding wax...mmm...
The demands of these pesky studios! Still, this one seems to be getting it right......lovely work!
I really like those wings and heart. But I think my fave has to be the key in the heart. Very nice. Glad too see a change of scenery has spurred you on. :)
Amy - it is a bit addictive, the only downside is the smell of the liquid wax.
Julie - thanks Julie :)
joe - I think it may be just what I need x
What a good idea - I haven't seen anything like these around! Glad your getting inspired in your new surroundings.
Cathy - thank you - I'm inspired!
