Yeah, I was thinking they might need something else too. But I'm not sure what. I guess I'm afraid of messing them up.

janelle,
i work through a lot of "i might mess this up" issues, buuuut...sometimes the ones i "mess up" turn out the best! also, the great part of the wax is that you can scrape off anything you don't like from the newest layer! go for it!

You are so right. I started a test canvas just to have a place to try new techniques and not worry about messing anything up and I've actually started to like the result.
It the case of the 3 panel paintings I just don't know what direction to go next....

I really like the way you have used these pieces together, it really works Karen. The framing looks great too, is this for a show?

Thanks so much, Mo!
I'm considering submitting this for a show. Believe it or not, the framing is actually the inset back of a flat wooden panel. I have to figure out a way to attach the pieces and put a hanging thing-y on the flat panel in the "new" back...hmmm...open to ideas!

Hmm I'll have at think on that, and ask the hubby who makes my panels and see what he thinks.

Let us know what you come up with, as this is something I've thought about doing until I got to the hanging hardware part. :-)

Mo and i were talking about how to get a nice effect using the shellac burn technique, only - instead of amber- a black burn. I experimented a little last night with graphite powder and clear shellac -- and came up with this
little 4" x 4" piece. I started with clear shellac - about 2T i guess, and added about a T of graphite. It was pretty black, and i painted it just as i would with shellac alone. -- kind of like spreading jelly on a piece of bread.

there was a demo on using aqua dispersion paint from Kama pigments. It was mixed with clear shellac and when fired the color didn't turn black

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
