Description:

Well, here's your chance to try something new or do it again! For this swap, you will make one ATC for one partner using the wax resist technique.

What's a wax resist you ask? Well, simply put, it's wax under a water based medium (watercolors are nice but you'll want to experiment if you're curious to other watery mediums!)!

Using this technique, your ATC can be your choice of content.

Have fun & jump in!

suggested by @OrigamiGrace -- thanks!

A video to watch to get an idea. Milliande does her wax resist in a journal but it shows how it's done! :o)

This swap is for all levels of artistic ability. It's about getting your feet wet, being creative, and showing effort as you integrate the technique. :o)

Any questions, please ask.

Rock on with your socks on!

ATC must have an element that is entirely originally made by you. This could be hand-drawn, hand-painted, sewn, or a mixed media piece involving different papers, ephemera, AND paint/inks. Scrapbook style (anything using more than 10 percent scrapbooking type materials and ATCs that do not have an original art element as described above) is not permitted in this swap."

If you haven't started on this already, be forewarned - THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!!! You draw with the candle, and you know your cool image is there, but it's always a surprise when you add your watercolors. I am making a ton today!!!
