Wax

For the last week I was doing a lot of experiments with wax.

I made these model of my fingers by simpley getting a block of clay, puching my fingers into it to make a bit of a dent, and then pouring wax into that dent that was created by my finger. The fingers made a interesting elongated shape when I did this because I had pressed my fingers through the clay.








I also got my hand print by putting my hand into a half cooled down bit of wax.






This piece underneath, I made this with the left over wax from the finger models.
All I did was pour the left over wax onto a white doubled up A2 page, and everytime I pour the wax on the page, I pressed my hand against the melted wax to leave my hand print on it. It was quite sore but the result I quite like.







I also made a flower out of bundled up tissue paper and wax. My initial plan was to make a hand out of this but for the tissue paper is not strong enough to hold a shape before the wax hardens, I was not able to do this.
