playing with wax

I printed out some of my favorite mixed media collages to the size of atc’s. Then I dipped them in wax. Here are a few hanging here:

The thing that’s neat about dipping just paper into wax is that it turns the paper translucent. On pieces that are white, it’s a really cool effect. Below you can see my hand showing through when you hold the waxed piece up to the light.

The other neat thing that I found is that when you put it up against the window it’s kind of like a stained glass piece. Ok, not really. But it’s the gist of a stained glass.
