Wax Lyrical

Over the last two Fridays, myself and 3 friends have met to play.  We saw the fabulous beeswax canvas that Hels had in the Craft Stamper, so decided to go along those lines.  When we got to Lynne's, who was hosting the day, she had bought some very large canvases,we nearly died, they were so big, we didn't know how we would fill it...but we did.



Coloured the whole canvas in trad tan, then applied some Kaisercolour in sea breeze and some Inka Gold in rose, stamped onto tissue paper using Paperartsy and T!m's stamps.  Added various pieces of old watch parts, the whole canvas is edged in old gold by Inka Gold.  If you've not tried this stuff, I urge you to, it's brilliant and can be found here

We had a thoroughly enjoyable two days, and it did take us two days because of all the chatter and laughter that went on, and thank you Lynne, Jill and Pat for the gorgeous food.  We've been eating so much fattening food that we've decided to limit the lunches now to soup, roll and yoghurt...wonder how long that will last?
