Hi everyone who likes to play with fire and wax.
I will be adding videos and talking about how to use beeswax but if you have any expertise in this area of art please feel free to add vids or comments.

Comment by Mo Godbeer on August 14, 2011 at 12:52pm oh and the heads from the hot wax stylus are interchangeable with it. The kandi one.
Comment by Mo Godbeer on August 14, 2011 at 12:50pm what about the pyrographic tool. It heats up to 950F. I have the one from walnut hollow that has 11 different heads. I just so happen to have one with an american plug on it all brand new in the package if you want to buy it off me. I think it was $40 but you cna have it for $30 plus postage. I think it would work as it says you cna work onto leather,wood,and paper.
I am using it to burn holes instead of the incense, its quicker and you can do lines adn draw patterns with it. If you dont hold it down too long you cna get drawn scorch marks which is cool.
I can send you a picture if you are interested Michael.
I bought the one with the american plug on by accident. I now have the one with an aussie plug as the voltages are different here.
I already ruined a tacking iron by using it with an adaptor. Somehwo it burnt out inside.

Comment by Josephus on August 12, 2011 at 12:50pm I received the pat seg book yesterday, too. I agree with Glenda that it's a bit artsy-craftsy, but that it provides some starting points for developing more subtle ideas.
And I must add my congrats to Mo ...
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).
