When my local group did soy wax a couple of weeks ago, I did quite a few prints of soy wax on paper. These are just a few of them.
This one was a basic leaf shape.
And this was a variety of circles. I used Dye-na-Flow paints to color the page after the soy wax was applied.
After the paint has dried, I ironed the paper between scrap newspaper to remove the wax. Then I like to add colored pencil as I have done with the design above. I’m not sure if this one is finished or not but it might be. Probably needs a bit darker values in there somewhere though. Hope you have a good weekend.
I remember trying to do something like that when I was at school – we used a candle to draw with.
If I’d achieved anything like your circles I’d have been thrilled! The dye-na-flow paint effect is pretty.
Thanks Lyn – the soy wax is really easy to work with. Much easier than regular wax as it melts at a lower temperature and comes out easier.
Very nice ๐
Thanks Zed!
Cool process. The dye n flow make a nice effect.
Thanks Marilyn!
Beautiful results Ruth, the second one is my favourite, although I am itching to add some fine black lines to contrast with the white…
Thanks Teri, I like the circles too. Fine black lines sounds like a good idea. ๐
I like the last one – in the enlarged photo the texture of the coloured pencil looks quite felt-like! ๐
Thanks – it would be cool in felt ๐
