New canvas named after a lyric in an old blues song. This was my first foray into beeswax. I am happily surprised by the results. I have finally finished one of the sneak peek posts!!! yeah !!!! Here is a pic of the work in progress:
I used a stretched canvas covered in tissues and washes of acrylics. Added two shooting woman transparencies and a vintage postcard. Some tissue images of lovers, an image of a gunshot wounded heart, wooden die cut guns, antique doilie, embossing powders, crackle paint, rub n buff, molding paste,rub on, walnut ink, broken jewelry and wax, of course! Here are detail photos: 
Here is the completed canvas:

wish the composition was a little different, in my head I was just playing around. I really like it though. Maybe it will be my first listing on etsy. Should I do etsy?? I'm not prolific enuf, unless I sell my ATC's and call them ACEO's. They ARE one of a kind....hmm food for thought.......xoSusan
This is my first attempt with beeswax, and it SUCKED. Why, you ask?? Because I used a cheap potpourri pot that did not get hot enough and the wax was lumpy and then the little tiny iron thing I bought was stupid and tres awkward to use and the hot air gun blew the wax and embossing powders all over the place. OK I'm done now. Anyhoo, this one needs a lot more work. I have this canvas, the red turq one I sneak peeked a couple posts ago and the altered cabinet card in the works. Plus, you should see the laundry pile. It is not pretty. 
To be completely honest, I dabbled in beeswax during a nighttime ATC class at Art and Soul. It was my Least Favorite Class ever. Thats all I'm gonna say. I love the look of beeswax and I must conquer it or keep whining about it. Does anyone have any waxy hints, remedial reading materials or medication suggestions at this point????
