A melt pot adventure with beeswax.

Well hey there,
well we now have, fingers crossed some heating!!!!but crafting has been nil, so here is a card made a while ago...an adventure with beeswax and a melt pot...here she is:

The background of the card was made using DI and perfect pearls, then when dry..I added a very thin coat of rock candy, not sure if it will show up I pics!!!
The decoration for the card came in the shape of an averted disaster in the melt pot stakes, after I had such beeswax success I was buoyed up to try again and boy did I make a mess!!!I started by cutting the cogs , using Tim die, inking and dunking in beeswax, only to find I DID NOT like them, boo hoo....so I spritzed with perfect pearls mist, which of course sat on the top and then blasted with my heat gun, thinking...I couldn't make matters any worse!!!!!and wow the droplets were captured in the wax, this I DID like!!!

The butterfly is from the Artistic Stamper and was dipped for good measure, and some bedazzles added.

the mini cogs inside the beeswax cogs are old watch parts and the sentiment was a paperartsy one covered in rock candy.I added a mini clock charm and pen nib to finish!!!
