Our holidays have been full of snow, snow, snow...then gifts, treats, friends, family, and lots of quite time. I closed up shop in my studio for the last couple of weeks and have spent my free time reading. It was nice to switch gears and take the time to be still.
Now I am back playing in the studio and thanks to my good friend Liz I have a new technique to get sucked into....wax. Yesterday Liz came over for a studio play date. Boy did we have fun, the picture here is my first waxed page (Day 11 in my Christmas Art Journal). It has tissue paper, cardstock, music paper, and metal embedded in wax.
It was so much fun to do and didn't take long to get addicted! The best part, if you don't like where something is placed or the amount of wax in a certain area, just heat up the wax again and move things around. It is like an undo button!!! LOVE THAT!!!
We recorded our playtime and will be sharing the video on Illustrating Stories soon.
_________Onto something else_____________
This evening we have been playing a game called MindTrap. It is a brain teaser/puzzle game. Here is one of the questions from the game...can you figure it out?
What word from group B belongs to group A and why?
A) FRONT, SKI, MELON, FALL
B) ROAD, TIRE, TOWER, CLIFF
I wish you all a very happy, healthy, joyous, and safe New Year!
