Description:

If you've ever wanted to experiment with using beeswax in your art, here's a small project to get you motivated to try it: make three beeswax collage ATCs (open theme) and receive three in return. I know the deadline is near Halloween, but let's keep the theme holiday-free, and family friendly images only, please.

I've posted a tutorial in the group forum, so read that for instructions on how to proceed. I'm setting the due date a couple months out so you will have plenty of opportunity to experiment before you send your ATCs. Please take time to get a good feel for things and send in your best work. I know some of my first ones were terrible, so it might take a few tries to figure out the best way to layer your papers to good effect.

If you have any questions that the tutorial doesn't answer, feel free to email me and I'll be glad to help you out. This is a really fun, easy, and addicting technique--I hope you'll give it a try!

is this international or just the US?

It's international--check under "location" on the top of the swap instructions and it will tell you. :)

I ask as I thot American Swappers was USA swapping.

I am also confused by the International swap in an American Swappers group?

SherriB 09/15/2011 #

Whoopsie! Ok, I totally spaced that! So sorry! Obviously this won't be an issue, since you have to be in America to belong to this group, but thanks for pointing that out--I'll fix it. :)

does it have to be beeswax or can it be another type of wax ?

SherriB 09/26/2011 #

Soywax is fine too. Anything along that line.
