It takes a lot of courage to use this much wax in such an innovative way. Thinking of taking the wax into a more 3-dimensional area. It is amazing how the wax hardens and becomes substantial with time. Small scapings and waxed papers are as far as I've gotten. I have also been working with a freestanding substrate. Will post pictures as soon as I have something to share.
On a personal note: The gallery where I do workshops and have art has decided to celebrate me with a reception on Friday, March 11. I am busy working to have new art to display and be worthy of the main wall . New boards are being made that are bigger than my normal work. The leap to big with wax is a huge task. I need a larger clear work surface. I knocked over a pot of red wax and was busy scraping wax off the desk for twenty minutes.
The act of creating is a little harder while I am dealing with this "skin treatment". My dermatologist has me on a topical skin ointment to treat the pre-cancer spots on my face and arms. It has me looking like my face is covered with herpes. It is not pretty and it is very uncomfortable. Just saying that this week is the worse but it is supposed to be better and better. Just saying that there is a certain level of frustration that I think is hampering creativity.
