I started with a piece of 6" x 4" greyboard, covered it with a piece of pattered canvas paper and a thin coat of gesso.
I used beeswax to add a piece of torn napkin, my lady was stamped onto a piece of tissue and torn to fit before adding with more beeswax, I also added some tissue music. Everything was given another coat of beeswax before stamping into the hot beeswax corners. A little brushing with Bronze Perfect Pearls gives it a gorgeous sheen, but made it a nightmare to photo!

WOW! What a stunning canvas. I've never used the beeswax technique maybe I should give I a go x
Not sure why you were reticent about showing this gorgeous piece Avril as it is a stunner. You have used every technique that I love and displayed the artwork beautifully. Lucky you going to a Hels workshop.

This really is stunning Avril! The beeswax does give such a lovely effect - you have made me want to get mine warmed up. Chrisx
What warts!!!! We are our own worst critics you know.
I do hope that you do keep using these techniques. The minute I saw it I knew I liked it --- wonderful. It is more than just saying pretty - it has a lot of depth. Even seeing it this way makes me want to touch it!!!!

So glad you decided to share this, Avril - I think it's absolutely beautiful. There's something about beeswax which just gives everything a really special softness and beauty.
